However most of the time it's time use is comparable to Rebel Century. In some cases it's time used is typically about 10 minutes less than Rebel. In one game I told ChessMaster to use 80 minutes instead of 60 and it's time got down to 23 minutes which means it really had only 3 minutes left before using 60. At that point Rebel was already down to 3 minutes left of it's 60. So I decided to change CM8K time to only 3 minutes left also. This turned into a blitz game and Rebel lost quickly. This game is not going to count in the final total. But the point is that CM8K is very conservative in it's time use but may on occasion use more than usual and you can't count on it to use less than 60 when setting it for 80 minutes. So I've decided to just let it play it's game and see what happens. Jim
