One more interesting fact about Junior vs. Fritz. Other than me that has noticed
the huge difference in tablebase-access´es on theese two? Nearly equal in
search-speed (on an oc Duron 900), but Fritz allows nearly three quarters of its
Nps to sink deeper in the tb´s; here Junior gives up only half of its
search-speed.
