They all use book learning to avoid repeating games that are lost. This is understandable. However Junior will repeat the same opening as white as long as it continues to win. I have seen Junior win 14 straight games as white Vs Fritz when the Fritz learning feature was broken as black. This problem was fixed in a patch by Chessbase. I have watched Junior 6 play the same opening vs CM8K as white 5 times in a row before I just gave up and stopped playing them against each other. Junior takes it to the extreme. Jim
