You will see an astronomical difference. >This would be a good level for a kid just starting out in chess. I do not think that a kid just starting out in chess can win Junior even when you use fixed depth=3. They need some experience to do it and they cannot do it in their first ,second or third game or even their 20th game. Your level may be lower than depth-3 only because Junior can lose on time but I do not think it is a good idea to win on time. There are good levels in chessmaster6000 for kids. > >Instead of 14 ply searches Junior will only do 5 to 8 ply searches. You can use fixed depth=3 and it will searches only to depth 5. You can use fixed depth=4 and it will search only to depth 7. At least this is the case for previous version of Junior. Not very >brilliant, but it still plays a fair game.

I think that it is better that the programmers will give a slow down parameter in the parameters when you can decide how much do you want the engine to be slowed down. Uri
