  Deep blue of 1996 I'm not at all sure about either. But Deep thought of
1989 is definately a far cry from Junior 6 of now. I think that Junior would
win almost every game one after another. Against DT2 a bit less. DB 1996 may
beat Junior 6, but it would be very close. It may fail also.(J6 needs long time
control with fast processor, but that's it.In its maximal state, it's OK against
all basic pitfals and can compete anywhere.)imho.
