yes

I will remember in the future not to put e between the 'l' and the 'd'.

I also found that the bug is in Junior and not in the autoplayer(see the end of
the post for proof.

I clicked on games,level,long game and chose 2 hours/40 moves.

I later clicked on game and move now so junior started to calculate.

Junior had all the game so it practically had 2 hours for less than 40 moves but
I could reproduce the same result in 1 hour/40 moves.

64 Mbytes

I understand it but Junior calculated for 848 seconds when it was tiger's move
so my statement that Junior used 848 seconds is correct.

I agree that more hash and permanent brain can cause difference but they are
supposed to be productive and not counter productive.

Junior has no problem to avoid Nc3 at depth 14.

I decided to try it at game condition and was surprised to find that Junior can
play it at depth 17 with my PIII800.

I gave it to play 21.Rfd1 at 40 moves/1 hour and let it ponder for a long time.

This is the surprising result:

Junior never considered Nc3 as a good move but suddenly at depth 17 found this
move.

I guess that similiar analysis convinced Junior in your game except the fact
that tiger did not use enough time to let Junior to get into depth 18.
