In fact in a thread below Sandro stated it was a beta version that had bugs. And that it was 150 elo weaker. One _has_ to assume that they _knew_ it was beta, and that it had bugs. >Junior is a positional program? Yes it is. Junior and Hiarcs are probably the best positional chess programs around. >I do not believe it for a moment. >Junior is a fast searcher. Exactly. Faster search = deeper depth = more positional play. >Fast searcher cannot have a lot of knowledge in it's evaluation so Junior >cannot be a positional program. Programs can become positional without knowledge but by deeper search. This has been stated many times on this very board. Hiarcs has a great amount of knowledge but is a slower searcher. Junior doesn't have the knowledge but makes up for it with an incredibly fast search. Peter
