Does this sound familiar "if is not broken, don't fix it". Junior 6.0 is way Under-Rated, it has beaten Rebel Century 3, it is currently beating Deep Fritz it has beaten Fritz 6a, and in my private test it has also beaten Rebel Tiger 13.0 and Nimzo 8. Shredder 5 is the only one that I have not tested it against so far. I don't know how Junior 6.0 got a 2589 in the previous SSDF, but all the latest evidence is showing that junior 6.0 should be either first or second on the next SSDF rating list. Pichard.
