I have been using Junior 8 on FICS now for the last few weeks, and I have so say I am VERY disappointed with it. After about 250 games with it vs all the computer programs on there, it has a record of +99 =11 -140. I am using a PIV 2.0 Ghz, 512 megs ram, Windows Xp... using 64 megs for hashing, 32 megs for endgame tables. I find it loses most of it's games in the latter stages of games. Shredder seems to outplay it effortlessly, as well as do most of the Crafty clones on there, and that puzzles me. Junior was one of the best in the endgame. Results with Fritz 8 has been almost the opposite. It is doing very well using the 8.0.23 engine. Does anyone know why Junior 8 is doing so badly? I must say most of the games are at a blitz time control, usually 5 3 games. I also know I am using slower hardware than most of the dual athlons on there. Peter.
