Thanks. My Junior engines are on DVDs though that I don't know how to access easily. I'll get back to you.

Back in the days we used to romanticize about Junior's attacking ability/aggressiveness, and I indeed remember the 2002 (?) match with Deep Fritz fondly.

Thinker was another engine with super aggressive play.

I would love to see an NNUE version of either of them. Or even old classics like Phalanx, Comet, Crafty, WChess, Baron etc would be interesting as NNUEs just to see what comes of the playing style. 8-)

Anyway, congrats to Chris and Ed, I haven't been here for a while, but look forward to testing your latest chess monsters soon. :lol:

Thanks for all the hard work.
