If Junior 5.0 is really strong, that's great.  A match against another program
running on the same machine isn't going to convince me though, whether permanent
brain is on or not.  For all I know, Junior could be polling the message queue
just like Chessmaster xx00.

In fact, I would go so far as to say that in most cases, posting results based
on a one-machine match is simply misleading and should be avoided.

But please try with two separate machines if possible and tell me what happened.
 If Junior again wins by such a margin, I will say "Cool!" :-)
