Could it be that most people on yahoo have a junior 6a ticking in the
background-since it is allegedly the best-and therefore it's not very easy to
outsmart anyone by using simply junior, as all of juniors moves are pre-empted?
And of course, giving junior much less than 40 in 40 or game in 60 is anyway not
what junior is all about?
   I'm personally not very interested how well a program does in blitz against
another which is maximised specially for blitz but doesn't play much stronger in
3-5 minutes per move.
