Well, I don't think so. Junior 7 doesn't play as Gambit Tiger at all, it has all
a different style. It is now that it attacks as Gambit Tiger but it is a sort of
"chaotic" player. It has a very strange evaluation that make it do some
phantastic games, also if it play the game quiet. It is very strange to watch
Gambit Tiger and Junior 7 play against each other. The first play a very
attacking game with an eye always to the opposite king, the second do the same
but its moves are still more strange and artistic in mine opinion. I've actually
seen boring games played by Gambit Tiger, for now I've never seen a boring game
played by Junior 7. If I would know how to play in that way and be stronger the
same I will definitely like to play as Junior 7, above all the other choice. I'm
truly in love with its style of play, more than Gambit Tiger and Gandalf 5 (this
last plays a very beautiful game too).
