As soon as I get my copy of Junior 7, I could try this one. I have two
questions.

1) How do I play two Juniors on two different systems against each other? I have
chessd (a new version of the old FICS code) on a seperate server. But so far, I
was only unsing Winboard 4.2.3 to connect with chessd when trying different
chess engines.

2) Does it matter if I get deep Junior, or is deep Junior on a single processor
box worse than the single processor version of Junior?
