Quite impressive it´s +480 points!! Typically these programs performs around 2500 in tournament chess and 2650-2700 in speed-chess. So the suspected rating could (should) be about 3000-3200. Good win by Soltis (2405) in g/15. Is this a advertisment or could we suspect DB-Junior to bee far superior to it´s big brother. Bertil SSDF
