Subject: ChessMaster 8000 personalities and time keeping

Author: Matthew Barnett

I've only just started playing games/tournaments against CM8 personalities with
the new FIDE time control of 90 mins + 30 secs/move for a game: before, I used
75 mins/35 moves until there was a result.  I've only played a few games but I
have noticed some big differences in the way personalities keep time.  E.g.
Josh Age 12 played very quickly and (if I remember correctly) had over 50
minutes of playing time left as compared to Vanessa, whom Josh was playing in
this instance, who was nearing the end of her clock before she won.

Has anyone noticed anything similar?  Do the/some personalities run
weaker/stronger on the new FIDE time control than the 'old style'
moves-per-minutes time control?  Should it or does it make a difference?

Any insights would be appreciated.

Many thanks

Regards

Matthew
