I'm not surprised that Junior 8 played so well. As you play longer games you are sure to get even better results. Junior 8 is in my opinion the most underrated chess program out right now. Junior 8 is also one of the few chess programs that can lose and not look like it made a dumb error but just took a chance from a human perspective. For me Junior 8's attacking and risk taking is much more entertaining than the traditional conservative piece pushing most programs have done in the past even if it does take a few bad risks and lose once in a while. Hopefully Junior 8's play style is a sign of the direction of computer chess in the future.
