We always hope that every newer junior release is stronger. Also I agree that Amir has put great work on Junior. It's rating prove it. I believe that if Junior did not reach it's current rating, so no people will complain. > >I know that there are good moves that Junior7 can find and Junior6 cannot find >and I believe that this case is more common. > Improvements and new features are common in newer release. People will keep it silently if they get those improvement. On other side they complain if they see even a small bug. I believe that not all people who complain able to beat junior at turnament time control. Unfortunately, I am included too ... ;-). They always want a _perfect_ engine. Some times ago Christope got a same problem, even bigger bug in my opinion. That time must be a hard time for him. If this kind bugs appear again and again so it is clear that Amir has a new home work. As a human being, I think regard irawan >Uri
