You cannot make a judgement based on the information so far. Junior played the
move and won (against a human, I believe). Chessmaster 9000 would not play the
move, because analysis (admittedly on a slow machine, and not very extensive
analysis at that) showed that Junior's move loses approximately a half-pawn in
the eval.

That is all you can say. Saying whether the move actually IS the best or not
requires more analysis, preferably by many other engines....
