But I expected you would agree that it is mostly true that if a program was playing the same program (with only a few small improvements) on a (much) faster speed, the chances of it winning are much greater than if the faster speed program was a completely different program. I've hardly EVER seen it happen on a same program that a slightly shorter time control ever won against a somewhat longer time control, unlike when it was a diferent program. S.Taylor
