The test is to avoid Qb2

Most programs have no problem to avoid Qb2 but I suspect that this mistake is
typical for Junior(I have not the latest version and it is interesting to know
if Junior can avoid Qb2 and how much time does it need).

I played Qb2 in a tournament game today and had to agree to a draw after Qxb2
Bxb2 g5.

It was my mistake to use only about 1 minute for 39...Qb2 when
I had about 6 minutes for moves 39-40.

I thought that 39...Qb2 is winning the game.
Unfortunately I calculated only the line 39...Qb2 40.Qxb2 Bxb2 41.Kf3
