I think you are right that knowing the opponent could not give Junior5 more than 5 points elo because the only way that I know to use knowing the opponent for Junior is changing the contempt factor. I believe that nimzo99 earns more from the anti-Rebel,anti-Fritz,anti-Junior otherwise they would not bother to do it and I do not like it. It gives bigger advantage to new programs that can prepare against previous programs and we can learn less about the improvement in the engines. >Why can't you just accept the SSDF ratings for what they are !

Not just >Junior 5. I am interested mainly in Junior5 so I am going to look mainly at Junior5's games I am from Israel so I want Junior to get good results. I try to do what I can to do Junior5 better by giving ideas how to improve Junior to Amir Ban. 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. >Jim Walker I agree that using the CD rom of Fritz5 should not be allowed for Junior5 I know that the ssdf is using this CD rom and I do not know if it is productive or counter productive. Junior can lose a drawn game because of these stupid tablebases. I do not know if it happened because not all the game are public. Junior also can miss practical chance for winning because the tablebases tell it to lose a pawn instead of trying to win the drawn position. Uri
