I remember I have heard that Junior has problems with "winning" pawns on a2/a7 and h2/h7. I couldn't imagine. Now I have seen it with my own eyes: [Event "Chessnet"] [Site "?"] [Date "????.??.??"] [Round "?"] [White "King 2.55"] [Black "Junior 5"] [Result "*"] [ECO "D49"] [PlyCount "43"] 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nf3 d5 4. Nc3 c6 5. e3 Nbd7 6. Bd3 dxc4 7. Bxc4 b5 8. Bd3 a6 9. e4 c5 10. e5 cxd4 11. Nxb5 Nxe5 12. Nxe5 axb5 13. Qf3 Bb4+ 14. Ke2 Rb8 15. Nc6 Bb7 16. Bf4 Qd7 17. Bxb5 O-O 18. Bxb8 Rxb8 19. Rhc1 Bd6 20. Kf1 Bxc6 21. Bxc6 Qa7 22. Rc2 * Now Junior5 takes the Ph2 and only is down with -1.00. After 23.g3 h5 (-1.32) 24.Kg2 Ng4 (-1.40) 25.Rd1 Rf8 (-1.55) Black has some problems getting the bishop back into the game... So Uri, what does your latest Junior version (5.9?) play, also take the pawn? And I wonder which other programs take this pawn and which avoid this trap?
