Chessbase advertised Junior 8 to come with two engines: Junior 8 and the engine
that played Kasparov. In point of fact, the engine that played Kasparov was DEEP
Junior, not Junior. Chessbase pulled the ad and changed it. Those who had
purchased Junior 8 hoping to receive Kasparov's formidable opponent are left
wondering what happened.
