Junior5 found Qb8 in my pentium200MMX after almost 5 minutes at depth 16(It
prefered Nd7 before it)
It changed its mind again to Nd7 after more than 15 minutes at depth 18.

I used the infinite analysis and it Jumped from depth 14 to 16.
I do not know at what depth it found Qb8 in the game because maybe it found it
at depth 15(If I use Junior as a player  I can get different result because
sometimes it does not go to the same depths)

I used 23Mbytes hash tables under windows95(I do not know what is the optimal
hash tables to use and I have to thank microsoft about it).

The line of Junior when it found Qb8 started identical to the game in depths
16-18 Qb8 a4 Qa7.

The problem of the move Qb8 is not a problem of a little better hardware and
I think that Junior needed at least 3 times faster hardware to do another move
