Here are 2 games of Junior6 from the ssdf games
Maybe these games are going to help you to get ideas how to beat Junior6a
Junior6 forgot to casle in these games.
I am interested to know if Junior6a is better and can avoid moves like 8...Kf8
My impression based on these games that it is a good idea to take Junior out of
book as soon as possible
