Nope, Hiarcs 7.32 seems to be the only engine which can give Junior 6 problems.
In my engine vs engine test shows that at 10 minutes for the whole game, Junior
6 barely beats Hiarcs 7.32, however at Blitz 5 minutes or less, Hiarcs 7.32
beats the crap out of Junior 6.  Perhaps the reason why is because both Junior
and Hiarcs are more positional oriented engines, therefore Junior is not able to
outplay positionally Hiarcs because they are about equal in that department.
