Hi Amir, congratulations for the title and many thanks for your report and opinions about the WCCC. Although I'm a Shredder-Fan I must admit that I am always stunned to see with which style and force Junior manages to win. Although it feels like your playing style is more unbalanced and less complete than that of Shredder (you wrote it feels almost "perfect") I think you have discovered something special, which other programs have not. I'm always impressed how Junior operates with its major pieces against the enemy king especially in the late midgame/beginning endgame. I think Junior knows a lot more how to exploit an exposed king when the position is open and queens are still on board than other programs do. Some questions: Does you focus in your work especially on long time controls on superfast machines? I ask since Junior 8 seems relatively better on longer time controls than on blitz in contrast to Hiarcs 9 for example. Do you think that in _evaluation_ there are things that work differently in blitz and in longer time controls (for search it is obvious that there is a difference)? regards Joachim
