The software that played a tie against Kasparov has been improved.
It now offers bonus materials: tips and tactics and also chess performance analysis with chess engines. What has started out with the famous bishop sacrifice on h2 against Kasparov has now been fine tuned into a smooth, dynamic, human like playing style. Junior 10 is 2006 computer chess champion, having defeated the Shredder program in Turin in Italy.
