It is better, but that is not the point, it is much easier to autoplay the programs, and Junior 4.6 is a upgrade of the W.C. program. So it makes a good program to test against the top programs of today. To see if Bob is correct that little progress has been made in computer chess over the last 10 years other then hardware. I will play 60/5, 60/30, and 60/60, ten games will be played at each time control. I don't see a need to play any longer time controls then this, as 60/60 on a PIII 933 will give greater depth of search then 40/2hr. of computers 5 or 10 years ago. > >Uri
