I read that this was not exactly deep blue Junior
It used less than 1 second per move and it played at the same time against many
opponents.

I do not know if it is truth.

Now the only way of IBM to correct the bad impression from the results of deep
blue Junior is to let the real thing play against programs.

I do not understand the stupid decision of IBM to create this bad impression by
playing with a version of deep blue Junior that was weaker than the commercials.
