It is possible that the computers could play also better at 40/2 hours and even if you assume that the computers play the same I am not sure if he could win the better positions at 40/2 hours. He had the advantage against hiarcs and had a winning position against Junior but I am not sure if he could win both games. Remember that humans do not play perfect even at 2 hours/40 moves. Uri
