It is reasonable to that top engines will not blunder given the position and the
time (5 min to continue the game). What Junior 8 evaluated at +2 to +3 did not
stand up to cross examination. If you desire to get statistical proof feel free
to do so, however, also understand most engines won't look at certain branches
until they move in from the horizon. The opinion of a strong human player is
always welcome imo. The primary thing I wished to show was the the positon IS
NOT as good for white and Junior 8 thought. I provided supporting evidence, not
proof. BK
