It is loosy in closed positions, and its endgame play is not very good either. If you take a look at the Hiarcs-Junior WCCC game, Hiarcs played planlessly for a few moves from move 25 onwards, and allowed Junior to equalize the position easily. Hiarcs was not able to convert his tiny advantage into something more concrete. Give such position to GM Karpov and he could easily make a full point for White. I think that Junior is a better engine than Hiarcs, at least it plays closed positions better than any other Chessbase engines. Although it has the underpromotion bug, and some tactical blindness which needs to be correct. I hope that Amir releases a new version of Junior, and all the bugs get fixed. Laurence
