Mr. Bodkin,

Yes!  Fritz 6 has its' merits too.  Rebel Century and Rebel 10 find solutions to
chess problems that Junior or Fritz don't but I think that you will be very
happy with Junior 6/6a and it will beat you and other programs most mercilessly.
Junior 6 is about 80 to 100 elo points than the old Junior 5 .  Junior 5 was a
most excellent program.  None of todays programs are "perfect" and as Dr. Hyatt
has stated "they all have holes".

I have not beaten or even drawn the damned thing yet and I can usually at least
get a draw every now and then against Rebel 10.  You will be very happy.
