I don't understand, why some people have problems with this sort
of a match.

Just don't read it as "MCP8 played on stronger hardware against Comet32
on much weaker hardware which is unfair!" but instead read it as "MCP8,
expected rating about 2500+ played against a player rated 2202." Just like
in real life.
And you can see, that MCP8 couldn't win much points in this match, but
that there was a high risk to lose many points against a much weaker
opponent.

I guess it means "7200 seconds for the first 40 moves, plus 3600 seconds for
the next 20 moves". (40 moves in 2h plus 1h for every additional 20 moves)
;-)
