I use one computer for Fritz-Junior game and the game is automatic.

I think to test the 2 40/120 games and the games morovich-ferret
in 30 minutes per game+30 seconds per move and in 10 minutes per game+
10 seconds per move.

I will use the last version of Junior Amir Ban sent me(he improved the last
version he sent me).
