Oh no! The 'autoplayer controversy' rears its ugly head again. I doubt very much if just a few games could make such a staggering swing in ability by learing. I would also be very much surprised if Junior used the same attach each time (and hence the learning might have some value). I think it more likely that we just have a funny series of coin flips. It is also just as likely that the next batch will be in Junior's favor. It would take hundreds of games to get a really good feel for which is stronger. I suspect (based upon previous test results against other programs) that they are very similar in strength.
