      Hi Graham
      Indeed: 90m+30s is an optimal time control and it
      almost never happens (like at tc 40/120') that an
      engine looses on time or gets in heavy time trouble
      having only 0-1 seconds for each move up to the
      end of the game (such games are terrible).
      Kurt
