This 'machine' has been discussed before. It isn't really "deep blue junior" at all. It is a web-based version of the program that is 'stateless'. IE no repetition detection, etc. It is set up to search at 1 sec/move, and serves as a demo machine for IBM all over the world. Hsu estimated that it was under 2200 in playing strength. Maybe well under 2200.
