It is not fair to calculate like this If the rule was 70 move rule Junior could play better. I guess that Junior considered the 50 move rule in it's calculations so in the last moves it did not care about putting the pieces in the rigt squares because it could see that it's move are enough for a draw. I know that this is at least the case with old versions of Junior and I do not have a reason to believe that the new version is different. Uri
