In playing online I can tell you Junior absolutely crushes Fritz 8. It seems to
either been made to specifially beat it, or Fritz just simply can not handle the
rather risky play that Junior shows.

Against the more solid engines like Shredder it has it's problems. When the
final ranking from the SSDF comes in, I am fairly sure that Junior 9 will beat
Shredder 8, but not Shredder 9.

In watching Shredder 9 play I have been pretty impressed. Stefan has again
reached into the magical pool of chess programming to come up with yet another
strength increase.
