Hello Uri,
Frankly, I don't understand your constant whining about Junior5's games and nit
picking details about how it could have 5 more points if this or that happened.
Why can't you just accept the SSDF ratings for what they are !  They merely give
you a ballpark figure of strength against other computer programs.  If you are
going to constantly complain about these little things which make very little
difference in the ratings then in all fairness you should look objectively at
all the games and make sure all programs are getting fair treatment.  Not just
Junior 5.  And while we are talking about Junior 5, I would like to know if the
SSDF is allowing Junior 5.0 to use the Fritz endgame CD for it's games.  Since
this is not a part of Junior 5 it should not be allowed period.  Or else it
should be called "Junior/Fritz 5" since it is the combination of the two.
