Hi Harald
You are definitely wrong as far as Junior 8 is
concerned. All other engines had the same handicap
in NBE 2003 but none of them did so badly. The only
explanation is that the "naked" Junior 8 has weaknesses
other engines do not have. As to Shredder 7.04: you can
run this engine under conditions whatsoever, it will
still be top. This can't be said to Junior 8. And in
our opinion the missing opening book was the main reason
why Junior 8 got such a bad result. When we play matches
with books [with/without EGTB, with/no learning] Junior 8
always gets very good results in our tests.
