Jun6 is definetly stronger than Jun5. In blitz and activ games I got
60-80 elo points playing more than 500 games against 20 different
opponents (!) on cel 525 mhz hardware with unique book and see/nunn-test.
It is the only engine which resists fritz6x for now, but the last one seems
still to be a little bit better again...
