I think Junior is not perhaps brilliant is tactics, but makes very few mistakes, because non-nullmovers ommit less tactical shots at the equal depth, compared to a nullmover. It probably don't get so deep, but it seems to have very intelligent extensions, that makes it search deep enought in the critical lines. I like Junior because it plays different from the rest of the programs. José C.
