I am not sure about it.
Fritz5 may have some bug at long time control(it was not tested at these
conditions)

Fritz5 also may have a bad branching factor relative to Deep Fritz at long time
control.

It is possible that Fritz5 suffers from diminishing returns at long time control
for other reasons.

I do not assume as obvious that Fritz5(200M nodes per seconds) is better than
Deep Fritz(2M nodes per second)

The only way to know is by testing.
