I remember that there was one tactical position when Junior was the only program
that could find kasparov's move against ivantuk.

I cannot say that Junior is better at tactics and it is only about
this specific position.

Junior also found the best move in a study because it had a different evaluation
function and evaluated the rook more relatively to the passed pawns.

Fritz5.32 and Genius5 could not find the right move in the same position because
they believed that the passed pawns are better than the rook.

Junior can also find the best moves in some endgames because it gives endgames
of KRN vs KR or KRB vs KR evaluation that is not a big advanatge for the better
side.

Junior can find better move than Fritz sometimes because Junior is not a stupid
root processor like Fritz.

Fritz can trade queens and understand only after trading queens that it was a
bad idea and not because it sees more plies.

Something like this cannot happen to Junior.
