No I don't have Junior. No version.

I don't prepare my book against opponents. I just prepare not to fall in
opponent's traps. Because I just want to see if my engine is better than the
opponent or not. If I enter specific killer lines, I will never know.

The only good programs I have here are:

Fritz2 (not 3 or 4 or 5)
ChessMaster 4000
Genius3 and 5
Rebel Decade and 9

I should also mention Chess System Tal, that I bought after Paris WMCCC, but I
never installed it on my computer... Superstition? :)

I really love these programs. Each has different style and strengths, but they
are able to do incredible good things sometimes.

Fritz depth is impressive.
CM4000 evaluation of activity and king safety is impressive.
Genius search is mysterious and impressive.
Rebel's way of tightening the positional screws is impressive.

I have the greatest respect for the authors of these programs.

Not to say I don't respect other programmers too!
