I found Junior 4.6 better then Fritz 5 at fast time controls. I think it is wrong for people to think fritz 5 is best at fast time controls. I found the program much stronger at slower time controls. If you have the time could you run the match at say game 30 with 30 sec inc. I would find this much more telling. I think Junior 5 will be a great program. I can wait until I can buy a copy.
