I know that we have not enough evidence but it is clear that deep Junior's results are better than cilkchess results. If we repeat the same competition again and again and if we assume that the results are going to be always the same then Junior's rating is going to be better than cilkchess rating. If we should decide only by results then Junior deserve a better place then cilkchess. Uri
