Looking at the results, I guess it is the "real" DB Junior (and these games are from 1998, I do not know if Hsu had already left IBM by then). Moser (2159) 0-1 DB Jr DB Jr 1-0 IM Stanec (2463) FM Sommerbauer (2396) ½-½ DB Jr Kauzky (1895) 0-1 DB Jr Balinov (2450) 0-1 DB Jr I do not know if the ratings are FIDE or Austrian (I think they are Austrian, the 1895 looks way too low to be FIDE). I do not know if the time control is mentioned somewhere. Anyway, it scored 4.5 out of five points against a field with an average rating of 2273 (playing black if four of the five games). It seems unlikely that the web-based DB Jr would perform that well even at fast time controls. José. P.S. If there is interest I can produce a pgn file for those games.
