Deep Junior
is the world's first commercial chess program to run on machines with two or more processors. On a dual processor board it searches about 1.8 times faster than on a standard PC. The program is based on Junior6, the latest
improvement on the 1997 Microcomputer World Champion. Junior is a powerful positional player praised by grandmasters like Vladimir Kramnik for its subtle strategical understanding. The program profits from the close contact of
its authors to the leading Israeli players. Boris Alterman was Kasparov's second in his internet match against the world and contributed major parts of the analysis with Deep Junior running on a four-processor machine. Boris
Alterman also authored the rich new openings book included on this CD. An early version of Deep Junior on a quad board won a public two-game match gainst Boris Gelfand (ELo 2713).
System requirements: Windows NT/Windows 2000 running on a multiprocessor system. Deep Junior runs on Windows95/98 but only on one processor. |
