Junior 6 also won my 40'/40 + 40'/40 + 40' 10 round tourney. All games can be downloaded from my website. This was the non upgrade. Currently I started a 1 hr/game side tourney 10 rounds with J6a, J6, F6, F6Old, H732, N732, Crafty 17-07, Comet B13, I will likely add LG2000V2 if I can get the winboard adapter to work. Thanks.
