A big surprise in these matches was Junior losing to Genius. Last night I left them autoplaying at the same time controls, to see if the result would repeat. They timed out after one game, so I don't have much, but this one game was won by G6. Maybe J5 doesn't like Genius at all. Tiger's performance, without learner and with only the skeleton of a book, is quite something. I also like very much its playing style. I expected much more from Rebel. Somehow I "know" it's better than that. As for Hiarcs, I didn't expect it to be any weaker than it is, so no surprise there. It's quite funny to see how such a slow searcher is not caught by the speed monsters in tactical complications. Junior... hmmm. I thought it would win in the end. It's a very, very strong program. Last year F5 scored 52% in my tournament at 40/2 on P200MMX. Now it scored 48%, and this reflects quite well what I think of it in terms of strength. Enrique
