It sure needs a better, or at least reasonable opening book. This is a surprising result and I expected Junior8 to win more convincingly after remembering that Crafty had big problem to beat Junior with clearly bigger hardware advantage and only got 6-5 with many draws). I wonder if postmodernist made a big improvement relative to 1008 to be better than Crafty(at least if we do not consider the book factor and play the nunn match that I guess that both Crafty and postmodernist are not specially tuned for it). Another possibility is that postmodernist simply has good results against Junior8 but not against other programs. Uri Uri
