A single fault in a new version causing a forfeit drops you 600 points or something. Next day you win it back again. Big rating deviations. If a program then one time gets a higher rating than another program, though there are obvious reasons, then feel free to make advantage of the situation and cry victory. Amir only plays a few games. All attended. After a game he quits to learn or something from his game, where other engines might make 100 times the same mistake as the programmer is sleeping at that time, or busy working, or doing anything else than attending the screen and fixing after every game a known bug. Doesn't take away Junior is a great blitz engine. We knew that already years ago...
