Subject: Gandalf does not use enough time against the web

I think that gandalf does not use enough time against the web.

Here is the position before move 31 of gandalf

[D]2r3k1/2q2pp1/7p/3p4/RppPn2N/1P2P1P1/2Q2P1P/6K1 w - - 0 1

I download the game and found that Gandalf said -0.94 for white and played
31.h3

I gave my Gandalf4.32 some hours to calculate and it say after more than 3 hours
-1.80 for white and not -0.94.

If people want to reproduce my score then it is possible that they need to
download the game because I gave Hiarcs the information about all the moves
before 31.h3 and only then I downloaded gandalf4.32f(my experience say that
giving gandalf position under hiarcs and playing moves in analysis mode can lead
to different results that may be wrong so I do not use this method)

Gandalf also can see after some minutes that it is in trouble in the relevant
position so I guess that the score of the previous move Ra4 is also not after
many hours.

The only chance of Gandalf against the web is that many people who want gandalf
to win will vote for a stupid losing move like 47...Rd3+
