E.g. >Shredder plays worse with g/180 than with 40/120+60 although the total playing >time is the same. The time management within the first 40 moves seems to be >significant different. programs should play better at g/180 because at g/180 they can choose if to use more than 2 hours for the first 40 moves and for 40/120+60 they have not the choice. Does shredder use less time for the first 40 moves when you tell it g/180? Is there a program that always use the rule of using more time at slower time control? I suggest to test programs in the following situations with no opening book 1)200 moves/200 minutes+1 minutes per game 2)g/180 3)10 moves/120 minutes+1 minutes/game T(1) is the time that is used for the first move in case 1 T(2) is the time that is used for the first move in case 2 T(3) is the time that is used for the first move in case 3 How many programs have T(1)>T(2)>T(3)?
