Secondly I AM NOT trying to find faults in junior5 or amir ban's style of programming. I didn't do this to assault or criticize him.. and yes Junior is an EXTREMELY fast searcher.. frequently getting up to "21 ply" although I heard to get the correct approximate of that you have to multiply by 2/3rds .. still 7 moves deep is extremely deep as fritz only gets do about 11 ply or 12 in the same amount of time..
