Junior 8 will lose on a move just before or close to a move that increments its time. I did not notice this to be an issue Junior 7 ever had. So far it looks like Junior 8 is losing about 1 in every 5 games against shredder 7.04 due to this bug. The amazing thing is even with the time bug Junior 8 wins about 50% vs. Shredder in my tests.
