There are positions that every program does sometime moves that not even a patzer would make. I assume that you are talking about positions that Junior5 does mistakes and other programs do not do mistakes. Can you post some positions that you are talking about? I assume that you are talking about the early stage of the opening. It usually does not cause Junior problems against computers because usually Junior is in book in these positions. > >It may go 2 or 3 plies ahead of Crafty or Fritz.. but at the detriment of >position and basic chess rules. The depth of Junior5 is not the number of plies. The depth is something close to the number of captures+the number of threat moves+2*the number of regular moves. I do not think that it is tactically stronger than fritz5(The reason that it has good results against computers is mainly positional reason). Uri
