I think both you guys need to realise that playing at 1 minute a game with such few games played means virtually nothing. I have tested CM personalities long enough to see that at faster time controls that even if two personalities play 50 games against each other, that the next 50 are most likely to be totally different. I used to play allot of 25 minute a game matches. Only to see one personality win 6 in a row, then go on to loose the next 9. And out of say 50 games, maybe 12 of them were usually doubles. I have seen huge swings go against personalities that have been doing well. Thats why I look at all these games played with a little interest. But when I saw that you stopped your mini match and played 10 small games and posted your results, I had to speak up and say, that with the limited amount of games, trying to argue the results is absurd. First off playing at that time control is a waste of time IMHO. There is no time for the setting to get down and be of any use. I had personalities 300 points lower than the chessmaster winning some games. I have learned after playing well over 1000 games are varying speeds to give up, cause I am no closer to seeing which settings are the best.
