Overnight I played 174 games with time control of game in 1 minute. These were auto 232 games with Hiarcs on a PII-333 and Nimzo '99a on a K6-3-450. The score according to the crosstable was 87.5-86.5 in favor of Hiarcs 7.32. After checking the games for time control violations I find the score is 149-25 in favor of Hiarcs 7.32. The problem is Nimzo seems to be programed to play only about 50 moves/minute. So most all games over 60 moves were actually won by hiarcs on time. In one game of 184 moves Nimzo had used 4:04 and Hiarcs had actually used 1:01. This is the only game of more than 2000 in which Hiarcs has overstepped the stated time control. Conclusion: If you give a program all the time it wants to play the game and ignore the time controls, it may do pretty good! Jim Walker P.S. Tonight it will be Hiarcs vs Junior 5.0 (Game/1)
