As I wrote here recently, a multi-processor version of Junior will soon be released. I play (as 'ban') on ICC on a dual P-II/350 MHz. I play with my most recent version to get the feel of it. Against crafty I always play blitz 5 3 which is the longest blitz it will agree to play. In this case I set Junior to 5 0 or 4 0. This gives crafty a 3 to 5 times CPU advantage, but I believe that I have a plus record over it in recent history (2 months or so). Amir >On a single processor, Crafty is a formidable foe.
