That Crafty is "rebel strength" when given a 100x time odds? Or that >simply HW = chess program performance?

And if it does, how much? Imagine the stink if Rebel were to >win 75% in 40/120 and 75% in 40/12000. I am guessing that Rebel is about 100 ELO stronger than crafty. I also believe (on scanty evidence based on the chess in 2010 experiment) that the advantage vanishes at very long time control. I think with 4x time odds at long time control Crafty will be equal or stronger. 100x time controls probably won't make for an interesting match except that it will take so long to play games that randomness will be a big factor. Suggestion: Play a 4 game warmup match at 40 moves in 1 hour for both programs. If you do play a long time control match, make it at least 4 games so that it is not horribly affected by randomness (only savagely). Of course, it is your machine and I don't have the right to condemn it to one month of solid play. But I expect that it would be as interesting as the KKKUP matches and would get a big following. Besides which, slow chess makes for the prettiest games.
