Junior's result is indeed rather surprising here, but maybe it's just a bad
defender (1 point out of 5 as Black), whereas its record with White was okay
(2.5, 50%), and better than Shredder's, for instance. Hiarcs 7.32 probably got
wiped out due to simply being outsearched in this very tactical position.
