Hi Amir:
As I still wait the answers to my interview for CCR  :-) let me do a
simple question: which is the case for Junior? Is the example of a 200
points stronger or 100 or 50? What do you think of the rating difference
between Junior ans Virtual, the second best? Or they were esentially
equal but Junios was luckier?
Best wishes
Fernando
