That does not surprise me that Junior found this also. I've played over all
the recent 40/2 Junior games posted here by Mark  and Hans. One nice trend
in Junior's play is that it seems to consider lines that are forced. By this I
mean it goes into piece exchange lines quite readily and the result is almost
always a better position for itself. One nice example of this is the Uri Blass
post on how Junior defended a tough position (the Bf6 post) by simply giving
back some material and exchanging Queens. This was to me an excellent sequence
of moves. This is humanlike, that forceful exchanges are considered in
considering what move to play.
