This is a game I played on autoplayer between Junior 9 on a 2 GHz Athlon (2400) computer versus Shredder 9 on a 2 GHz Pentium. Junior on the Athlon was given 6 hours for the game. Since the Pentium tested to be about 40% slower (!) in nps for Shredder 9, I gave Shredder 500 minutes to mostly make up for it. You might not agree with this method for equalizing the hardware but it still gives a game at very long time controls by two very strong opponents. Both engines had 256 MB hash tables for the game. In this game, Junior 9 played an incredible attack that Shredder 9 couldn't forsee or stop even with this much time to think about it. I don't think this is anything new for Junior, we've seen this attack before, what's noteworthy here is that Shredder 9 with the extra time still didn't stop it. You can see it coming here...
