I know that Junior got a bad position later in the game and SOS missed a win. I now have the pgn with Junior's scores thanks to the post of Amir Ban and Junior played 16.Qf3 with evaluation of +0.19. The problem that I see is that after 16...Bd4 17.Qd3 Bxc3 18.bxc3 the white pawns are weak. I also see that Junior was out of book some moves before 16.Qf3 so the problem is Junior's evaluation and Junior's book did not lead to a bad position. Uri
