You get some interesting games with Junior, but this result doesn't surprise me at all. :roll:

Yeah, pretty disappointing. I don't think I'll buy this engine ever again.

I kind of agree. I love the IDEA of Junior and Junior 11 was actually kind of cool. But between the weirdness of the Bobby Junior GUI and then releasing it on the Hiarcs page, and the fact that it doesn't quite live up to its exciting billing, I am passing on Junior 13.

Smarthink is a fun (if weaker by TODAY'S standards) engine. Has interesting move choices.

I will keep an eye on Junior but am passing on this version.
