Like the earlier version of Junior, Junior 5 seems much more adept at playing
other computer programs. After watching the end of the Yudasin match with Junior
5, I see the same pattern of behavior I did in Junior 4.6 against humans, very
strong and solid play then out of the blue a move that self destructs its
position. The moves are not tactical mistakes, just gross positional blunders. I
know that all programs have their strengths and weaknesses, but this pattern
with Junior is very disappointing to see because the program seems so very
strong in all other respects.
