In the Cadaques tournament, it won decisively against 6 other top programs, it's
worsed score being 50%(against Hiarcs)-which would seem to mean that it is far
superior to ALL the others. This was even at 40 moves in 40 minutes-on 500
mhz.and junior isn't the best at blitz. Even still, that little bit longer makes
it way and beyond!
   But I don't understand why the same thing isn't happening in other
tournaments. I mean what's going on by Jorn Gronemans tournament? The results
seem a little strange. Maybe it's the older junior 6, or some other handicap. Or
very strange flukes. But if that is well answered up by someone, then it looks
like junior is top for serious play.
  I'm also wondering why Dr. Hyatt feels that ferret is the best program,(under
deep blue) and how crafty won the tournament in which junior also took
part(didn't it-in the end?) Any answers to any of the above will be welcomed by
many.
