I assume that you mean to cases when Junior believes that a position is a draw
and not analyze when it is not a draw.

I can tell you that only part of these problems were solved.
Amir Ban had not enough time to investigate and to fix all these problems.

What are the problems with the pv?

I know that Fritz does not show pv of more than 19 moves but it is not only a
problem of Junior.

Sometimes Junior show in the main line only one move but the same happen
sometimes with Fritz.

I know that there is a problem that Junior5 cannot play against itself under
Junior5 but the same is for Fritz5(16 bit) under Junior5

I do not know
I thought that he is responsible only for the engine and I did not ask him about
it.
