Product Description
FOR TWO OR MORE PROCESSORS
Deep Junior is a multi-processor capable chess program that will run on computers with one, two or more processors. The program divides the task efficiently and its speed increases with the number of processors. Junior profits from the experience and knowledge of leading grandmasters, like Boris Alterman, who was Garry Kasparov´s second in the famed Internet game against the rest of the world. During this game he was assisted by Deep Junior running on a four-processor system. GM Alterman has also contributed a giant openings book, optimized for Junior's playing style. This is included on the CD. At the Brain Games qualifier (April 2001) Deep Junior had the popular chess program Fritz on the ropes by going into a 5:0 lead in the 24-game match. Fritz had to work very hard to equalize in the very last game, and then win the playoff. Experts all over the world were deeply impressed by the ruthless attacking style that the Junior displayed in this match. IM Hannu Wegner wrote: "The latest version of Junior has clearly made tremendous progress in tactics and especially in the execution of brilliant kingside attacks." Junior is the work of two Israeli programmers, Amir Ban and ShayBushinsky. The program won the Microcomputer World Championship in 1997 as well as the mammoth Cadaqués 2000 tournament of the world's leading programs.
