Mr. Godat, That was not my choice but rather Junior 6a's choice. I thought that the whole game was strange until I read that it was an operator error that caused the whole thing in the first place. As far as I am concerned, Xie Jun would have had a score of 2 wins and 3 losses and 2 draws against Deep Junior 6.x if the match were played in Israel and not over the lousy phone lines in China (they will get better). The final score, not counting the first game, was 1.5 to 1.5, with two games that I think the Junior team were cheated on ie no opening book and operator error. The first game was thrown out at the request of Xie Jun and was a win for Deep Junior 6. Ms. Polgar lost to Junior 5 and Deep Junior is one hell of a lot stronger than Junior 5 by at least 150 elo points. If you don't have Junior 6 then I highly recommend it. If you can get both Fritz 6 and Junior 6 that would be better. You can also play Bob Hyatts' excellent program Crafty 17.x as an .eng file available from Chessbase. Ain't Life Grand?, Tim Frohlick
