>You are putting Junior at a disadvantage by asking it to play 1 c4. >Junior is designed to play 1 e4. There is a huge difference between the moves. >1 e4 leads to more tactical situations in which Junior excels. Junior 8 is also very weak in the opening after 1.e4. Without book it plays the opening worse than a 1400 player would. Actually Junior was very lucky in Kurts tournament so far. Other top engines like Shredder,Fritz or Hiarcs know at least about some basic opening principles. Of course Junior is stronger in open positions. Therefore it scored somewhat better in the positions after 1.e4 but the opening treatment was ridiculously weak in any case.
