Hi!

I have been a bit sceptical to the Junior6 book, but I was partially wrong, in
"normal" openings it is one of the best books. I played a match against Fritz3
with power-books and Junior lost several games against unusual openings because
the book is very thin in uncommon lines. This is a problem for Junior but not
for many other programs. Sometimes Junior plays totally absurd if it's out of
book early. In example I played a game, 1.d4-d5 2.c3-Qd6?. Of course I lost but
it's another story. If Junior is early out of book, it very often takes out the
queen as soon as possible.
