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.
