I don't know if SSDF is playing any J5-F5 games now so maybe it's not important. The problem is Chessbase knew of the problem and claimed to have fixed it with the last SP1. I don't know if time controls have anything to do with the problem. But this was just noticed recently. I've checked other games and Junior 5.0 is the only one taking advantage of the problem so far. I e-mailed Chessbase but I don't expect a response. Jim Walker
