Several programs may have a disadvantage with faster timecontrols, eg. programs like Shredder and Gandalf IMO. But identifying the exact disadvantage isn't particularly easy without additional games. The standard time control rating list of the magazine will probably have a substantial uncertainty attached. >I believe things will be different on the SSDF list >because of this. I find that the SSDF list is the most interesting one as well due to the level of consistancy. Whether it can be called standard games given the progress of hardware is open to interpretation, but it certainly isn't blitz. >I also believe it's time for the SSDF to consider lowering >their time form 40/2 to something less(not sure what). Not necessarily. That would have to follow a hardware upgrade to avoid the time problems you mention. But otherwise I agree. Something like 40/90m on 1GHz machines sounds reasonable to me. Mogens.
