As I posted before, I didn't get my copy of S5 yet.

I used to be quite skeptical about the claim that some programs must play at
slow time controls in order to do their best relative to others, but in the
games I played last Summer with Shredder 4.22 it did clearly better at the slow
London time controls than at 40/20. On the other hand, Bertil posted that
Shredder does very well at blitz, and if there is a tester I trust as much as
myself this is Bertil, so... Also Gandalf 4.32g performs much better in my games
at slow time controls, while the different flavors of Fritz and Tiger couldn't
care less, and Hiarcs 7.32 is better at blitz than at 40/120. Just to make the
life of testers easy. :)
