Dear Mr. Michelena,

Did you load the Tablebases and the Jbook.ctg files directly onto your hard
disk?  Did you enable book learning after changing the downloaded book files
into "archive" from read-only files? Did you hit the Jbook optimize button?

My setup is looking up to 320,000 nps on a PII 333Mhz using 16 Mbytes
hashtables.  Are you testing the Junior 6a program which has the new service
pack update from Chessbase?  Are you running Junior 6a on its' own machine
against other programs or are you using the autoplayer with "permanent brain"
shut off.

I bet that you can't beat Junior 6a by going head to head with it on your own.
I find it harder to beat than CM6000 or Hiarcs 7.32.  Maybe it is just the style
that I am not accustomed to yet.  Try playing the Junior using your own skills
with all the above settings and you will be thrilled.
