I will not list them all here, but lets start with the first game and Nb8!
There are many moves that Junior played that the other programs could not find.
And I will end with the last game I looked at, Anand vs Junior and move 7. by
Junior! I don't know how many program would have played 7... c4?? and would have
been crushed by Anand...Fritz 6a just to name one.

How can I know this and why would it matter.
