Subject: How to beat Junior6a

 Dear CCC,

I accidentally found an easy way to slow Junior 6a down by a factor of 100.
Before you start Junior 6  just start Winboard and let it run in the background
with the autoplay on.  You can beat Junior just by letting it run out of time.
Do this a few times and then clear out of Windows 95/98 on a restart or reboot
and then play Junior 6 unfettered.  You will see an astronomical difference.
This would be a good level for a kid just starting out in chess.

Instead of 14 ply searches Junior will only do 5 to 8 ply searches.  Not very
brilliant, but it still plays a fair game.  When you have a bad headache or are
drunk use the Winboard in the background technique to give you an additional
handicap.

Hiccup,
