Junior5 cannot see underpromotions.
If there were underpromotions in your test suite it can explain Junior5's
failure.

Junior5 is also not good at simple endgames relative to other programs(I found
that Fritz relative to Junior5 is clearly faster in finding a draw in a KR vs KP
.
I told amir ban about this problem and I hope that he will improve it in the
next version.
