Junior did not switch computers. The problem was overheating, and it was solved
by putting a ventillator next to the machine (thanks Jaap for suggesting the
solution).

On the 21st move, after more than 20 minutes of thinking without getting a move,
a check showed the CPU's idle. We took an official timeout, rebooted and
restarted. After a few minutes this happened again. We then took a second
timeout, put the ventillator, and everything was fine after that. Junior lost
about half an hour on the clock overall.

Judging by the result, the ventillator was really something.
