Hi Stuart
You are right: results and statistics are one thing, the
way how engines play another thing. Well, with Junior9
you have a fine engine that is in particular very very
strong in dynamic positions. Junior9 seems to know much
about compensation and the games are quite often amazing:
Junior9 sees some advantage other engines can't evaluate
correctly and quite often his opponents are ambushed and
their evaluation suck at once from a very positive to a
negative score. You will simply have great fun with Junior9
I can promise you. It's a must to have engine -:)
