Nothing is etched in stone, the strength of these programmes are too close to be
certain.

I would say Junior 8 is more reminiscent of human play due to its speculative
play and aggressive attacks against the King.

While Fritz in general is a more solid player, more positional, not a risk
taker.

I suspect for analysis Fritz would be better than Junior...but Junior may
confuse a human opponent OTB more often. Just my opinion.
