I was expecting the fast hardware and improved version to show up more significantly. Junior will probably play in the Kfar-Saba Weekend tournament (a 5-round swiss) in early August. We attend this tournament every year. >Were there many players who chose not to play the computer >in this tournament (that's if they were given a choice)? >Do the players who play against Junior share their thoughts >with you on how it plays? Praise, criticism, comparison to >older versions ... ? I think there was no option not to play the computer. Anyway, I don't know that anyone wanted not to play. Junior was just above midfield in this tournament, so there was no reason for it. There was post-game analysis with some of the opponents. This analysis is not very different, from what takes place between too humans. Krayz, who never played a computer before, said that he found the experience very interesting, and thanked us for it. I met Avrukh several days after our game, and he described the computer as "impossible to beat". Amir
