I said that the difference is probably not more than 50 elo so to be exact I
gave 50 elo difference as an upper bound.

I believe that the difference is even less than 50 elo.

I also said that it is also possible that the new time control can help humans
who do not know to use their time correctly and get into terrible time trouble.

Here the humans get 30 seconds after every move so there is no case when they
have less than a minute for 2 moves or more than 2 moves and I saw cases when
good players had 1 minutes for 5 moves or more than it under the old conditions.
