Back to reality, you can not compare Junior 7 to the version that is playing Kasparov, just as you can't compare any previous program from before to a present unreleased version in the hands of the programmer. Example, i thought that Deep Fritz x (Fritz in Bahrain) should have won over Kramnik and thought that it did poorly (judging from the actual play against Kramnik), but looking at it's performance at playchess.com, it is really strong against other progs, my point is that whatever the result between DJX and Kasparov will be, we might have a Junior 8 that will top the ssdf list when they start testing it. The first game was a product of the best player through history and his amazing insight in opening preparations, not poor play by Junior... Rae8!? well at that point the game looked lost anyway and one could argue that it is admirable that the computer played a move most wouldn't even consider, good or bad it almost looked human. In other words, let history unfold and enjoy the bright spots :) Regards Jonas
