It is true that if I see a match loss in blitz I'm more inclined to say "oh, well" than if I see a loss in longer time controls. With this disclaimer, I think it's true that whatever is good about Junior6 shows up in full force in longer time controls, and the program's weak points are more emphasized in blitz. It's still a pretty good blitz program, if you ask me. Amir
