:) :) :)

That's an automatic answer: when program X performs badly, the automatic answer
is that you should have played at longer time controls.

I know a lot of programs (actually all the ones that are not close enough to the
top of the SSDF) that are supposed to play much stronger at longer time
controls.

One thing I don't understand: nobody ever complains the opposite. I mean: when
was the last time you have heard "you should have played faster time controls"?
