| Feb-06-05 | | csmath: I was testing the new engine Deep Junior 9 and my impression is that this is not very "smart" program, as compared to Shredder 8. The evaluations are very inconsistent (similar to Shredder though) which is frankly very annoying. The depth is considerable but it seems there is too much prunning in it.
I am surprised that this would be a WC for machines and hopefully Shredder 9 brings the bacon back to Shredder. |
|
| Mar-04-05 | | csmath: I finally got my first win with Junior 9 against a dual Dell 2 x Intel Xeon 3.06 server using Deep Shredder 9. The end of the game was played with Shredder since I failed to trust Junior completely but the opening and the middlegame was Junior 9.

| Jun-05-05 | | ryanpd: csmath I think you may find that junior's evaluations are better if you give it more time to think. Shredder is more selective, which means it arrives at better moves faster (<30 seconds), but at tournament time controls, I believe Junior will outperform it. I'm creating a website comparing various engines to this end, actually. More later... |

| Jun-05-05 | | Dionyseus: Playchess's Chess Engine Popularity rank puts Deep Junior 9 at 10th most popular with a total of 6617 games. As for elo strength, DJ9 has an average of 2662, the second highest. Deep Shredder 9 is ranked 3 most popular with 27412 games played. As for elo strength, DS9 is first place with an average of 2670. So how are the non-"Deep" versions fairing in comparison? Well Junior 9 is ranked 13th most popular and 17th in elo rank with 2569 average.
Shredder 9 is ranked most popular engine with a whopping 51,935 games played. S9 is ranked 5th in elo with an average of 2641. |
|
| Jun-06-05 | | ryanpd: Interesting stuff. How are those statistics genereated? What does it mean to be "most popular"? Shredder is definitely better at fast chess than Junior, for example- and since most play over the internet is at faster time controls, I can see Shredder winning. |
|
| Aug-22-05 | | Bartleby: So do any users here own Junior 9? How does it compare analytically to the evaluation likes of Fritz, Shredder, Hiarcs, ChessTiger, and other such programs? I've been considering buying it because the grapeville boasts of Junior's superior understanding of speculative sacrifices and pressing the initiative, even at the expense of material, like an electronic Tal or Spielmann. Can anyone confirm? |
|
| Aug-28-05 | | ryanpd: <Bartleby> I only ever use Shredder and Junior for analysis. I find Fritz is much more short-sighted and materialistic, and relies too heavily on its ability to steer the game into the kind of positions it is good at. Shredder and Junior are great for analysing human games. The one problem with Junior is that it needs a lot of time. You need to give it at a bare minimum, 60 seconds to look at each position. Shredder is much faster. |
|
| Aug-29-05 | | csmath: Shredder "deep" version is better than Junior "deep" version. Shredder has many weaknesses though. It does not play well with pawns at all. It does not know how to defend against pawn rush, which is demonstrated in many games (check the one against Zappa in Iceland), regularly disregard bad pawn structures, and in particular very often castles into a pawn rush (I've seen that in both Sicilian and Caro-Kann). It is sometimes easy to beat it that way. Junior on the other hand, has some extra aggressive character that, sometimes, makes extremely stupid and anti-positional moves, in search of a tactical attack.
Amateur engine Fruit is now better than either Shredder or Junior. Zappa "deep" version seems to be better but since it has not been properly tested, tough to know. Fritz is weaker than any of these.

| | BishopBerkeley: <csmath> In examining the PGN files from WCCC 2005 (at http://www.ru.is/wccc05/default.asp... ), I note that in some rounds Junior is referred to as "Deep Junior" and in some (most) rounds, it is referred to as "Junior". In your opinion, which of the two would be the better designation? I'm assuming that if they're using a multi-processor system, they are running Deep Junior, wouldn't that seem to be correct? Thanks in advance.

 | | LIFE Master AJ: Congrats to Junior!!!
Winning the 2006 WCC was an impressive result. (When this software comes out for retail, I definitely want to purchase a copy.) |
|
| Jun-07-06 | | NakoSonorense: o_O Isnt it better to congratulate the developers of Junior instead? I mean, it's just a chess program (or computer, whatever.) |

| Feb-22-08 | | notyetagm: F Amonatov vs I Nepomniachtchi, 2008 Final position after 25 ♕g7xf7 1/2-1/2 ???
click for larger viewIn the final position above, after 25 ♕g7xf7, the players agreed to a draw. But http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail... says that 25 ... ♘d5-e3!! wins outright for Black! <Draw agreed. But ChessBase running the Junior engine brings clarity: 25...Ne3 wins for Black! Nepomniachtchi missed an opportunity to clinch the tournament and win a full point ahead of the field.> Position after 25 ... ♘d5-e3!!
click for larger viewWhen I looked at this move with <Fritz 5.32> it saw only a small advantage for Black, like 0.50  . Could someone with the most recent <Junior/Deep Junior> engine please post the analysis of this winning move 25 ... ♘d5-e3!! that both of the 2600s playing this game missed? Thanks |
|
| Mar-08-08 | | PinnedPiece: Odd.... How could the results (games) of a 1994 program be in any way comparable to games played by a program with the same name in 2007/8? Seems to me there's something unclear or deceptive about this grouping.... |
|
| Mar-24-08 | | Brettwith2ts: <pinnedpiece> well, this analogy may be a stretch, but how are games of, say, Carlsen in 2000 and 2001 comparable to his games in 2007 and 2008? And yet we still have some of his early games preserved in the database (like this one that would never happen today: C Ribbegren vs Carlsen, 2001 ) Also, it helps to show how much the engines have "grown" and "learned" since they were "young". |

| Mar-25-08 | | timhortons: i dont know if these is the same junior computer that play in icc but i play with her just know and using nakamuras method of blockade i beat her on time, im a very poor bullet player but still at icc the pool is full of fishes , the poor machine at 2600 could not break through and think to long and lost on time[Event "ICC 1 0"]

| Mar-27-08 | | timhortons: i beat her on clock again in bullet chess usin nakamuras method of blockade(hippo), i suspect its tester is running her on a slow computer at icc, she had a total of 981 game at icc with 41 loss and 8 draw on bullet chess, i claim 2 wins against her in bullet |

| Mar-02-09 | | WhiteRook48: have you ever heard of Senior? :D |
|
| Nov-27-11 | | zluria: Congats to Junior for winning the 2011 WCCC! |
|
| Jul-11-17 | | Whitehat1963: I think Junior is going down for the count. The question is will he take Jared, Ivanka, and Agent Orange with him. |
