Thanks again for the games. Out of curiousity did Bo Aurell
save the positions or make a note of which games where Rebel 9
could not take advantage in the endgame?

I did come across one game of interest of Junior 4.0(P-100)
vs Rebel 9(200MMX) where the game was adjudicated a win
for Junior. Here is the position at the end of the game:

1k6/8/P1K2p2/8/3BP3/6b1/8/8 b - - id"Junior4 P100 - Rebel9 P200MMX";

This is one of those infamous bishop endings where the
drawing theme of the wrong colored rook pawn might emerge.
It would have been interesting to let this one play out to
a decisive win (if one can be found by the machines).
