Junior6a lost against zarkov in the millenium tournament in the following opening: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 d6 6.Bc4 Qb6 7.Nxc6 bxc6 8.0-0 g6 9.Be3 Qxb2? My opinion is that it is a normal opening. Junior had Qxb2 with a ? in the book but this fact did not tell it not to play it because Junior had not other moves with at least 2 games. I think that a good book could prevent Junior from playing Qxb2 because it could tell it to play moves even in cases that there is only one game or no games that the book is based on. A good book should be based on knowledge based on previous analysis(based on the program analysis or GM's analysis and only if there is no previous analysis it is logical to give the program to count number of games to decide if to trust the database. In the case of Qxb2 I guess that there was a previous analysis(otherwise I do not understand the reason for the ? for this move) I do not have Junior6 or Junior6's book but I trust Enrique who posted the facts about the move Qxb2 few monthes ago.
