Prior to the release and in the first few days after the release, Chessbase
advertised the single version also with 2 Versions of Junior 8. They changed the
ad recently, although in a few german print journals about Junior 8, there is
still the old ad.

It was an error made by Chessbase in their advertising campaign.
