I am influenced by the fact that I do not like the results of Junior5.
I found that the results based on public games of Junior5 are better.

I could not find the games of the matches when Junior5 lost
(especially the match against Hiarcs7 28.5:11.5).
I want to see the games to find Junior's problems.

I know that Junior5 is not close to be perfect and
I do not complain when Junior5 is losing in public games.

It lost against Chessmaster6000 7.5:4.5 in James walker's games
and I try to give Amir Ban ideas how to improve his program by looking at these
games.
I cannot do it when the games are not public.

 If this is the case, then why you trust in the

I agree that they can manipulate by giving only part of the games but at least
lazy cheaters who do not play games between programs cannot cheat.
