(More customer reviews)ABOUT THE ENGINE
First this engine was in 2006, Computer World Champion.
In 2006, Junior and Fritz had a Macth, Junior won, but were the deep version. (Deep fritz and Deep junior). So i can infere that the single version, Junior 10 should be stronger than Fritz 10.
ABOUT THE BOOK.
Fritz 10's book is bigger, but not to ahead, there are some lines that even Fritz did not considered.
Style playing.
Junior has its own special search techniques and evaluation funtions, which it different to any other chess programs.
Junior dares to find a dinamics manoeuvres, to archieve tactical hints and even sacrifices material for a direct king atack, if you like to surprice your foes, this engine could help a lot. Even Kasparov was shock by this software.
The only bad thing about this product.
The engine is great, but the interface is bad, buying this product you have junior 10 with fritz 9 console, so what means, there are some aplications will not run, like new chessbase DVD's.
First, the weakness of junior is bliz, a macth in my computer agains Fritz, alway lose, but games with more time, Junior done better results, WHY? Because Junior's algorithm, required more time, because, Junior try to find, a iniciative lines, with tactical drawback.
In the computer world Junior has a style a human player like as Alekhine, Tal and Shirov style.
[...]My recomedation, if you like to make a chess opening lab, Junior is for u, but if you have or will have Chessbase DVD, just for the interface, buy Fritz. Junior requires time to consolidates his lines.
I hope my review was helpful
