Perhaps.  I don't know Junior 7 very well.  At least I've noticed that
Junior sometimes plays the classic bishop sacrifice on h7/h2 even when there
is no clear win, and Gothmog usually wants to sac in the same positions.

It is nowhere near as strong as Junior, though.

It's a free download from http://www.math.uio.no/~romstad/gothmog/gothmog.html
Feel free to download it and give it a try.  You may want to wait, though,
because there will almost certainly be a new version some time before
the end of the year.

I should add that there is still a long way to go before the style is as
interesting as I want it to be.  It often plays boring or ugly games.
What I described in my previous posting was my long-term goals with the
development of my engine, not its current status.

It happens, like in the position we were discussing in the current
thread.
