Since it has to eventually >be taken why not immediately? Is it a bug in the program? I agree that the move played by Junior is sensless but it does not change the result of the game. The evaluation function of the KR vs KP is simply a bigger advantage for white then KR vs K so Junior does not take the pawn but it will eventually take the pawn even if the opponent does not advanve the pawn because it knows the 50 move rule.
