Any game in which Junior 7 goes over 75/80 moves is suspect. I have one example when time expired on the 79th move and another on the 105th move. They are all auto232 games in which Junior's own clock in it's GUI showed time expired. Auto232 does not automatically claim a win on time. I used to penalize Junior 7 and give the win to the opponent. Lately I just stopped bothering about it. Jim
