Junior7 is not a preprocessor.
Maybe you got the impression that Junior7 is a preprocessor from another post of
mine.

I said that something surprised me because the evaluation after the move was
clearly different and I remember that I said that I believed that Junior is not
a preprocessor.

I said that I believed that Junior is not a preprocessor in order to explain the
reason that I was surprised to see something and not in order to say that Junior
is a preprocessor.

I still believe Amir Ban that junior is not a preprocessor and the reason for
the difference in the evaluation was different.

The reason is probably simply the fact that junior does not go linear in depthes
so if I give it to analyze without learning it can jump from depth x to x+2 and
never be in depth x+1 when it has different evaluation.


Junior can see a drop in the evaluation for Nd5 in the root position and here is
the analysis (now on p800(64 Mbytes hash) with time control of 6 hours/40 moves)

It can also see Bf1 at depth 17

The fact that Junior does not see Bf1 for the tactical reason does not prove
that the evaluation of junior is wrong.

Junior did not claim that Nd5 is a winning move.
