Computers usually gain less than 1 ply from a doubling of the time, whereas humans gain critical "debugging" time. The latter factor is usually much greater. Humans usually gain a lot more than computers do from the additional time. >2) Humans tends to fatigue mentally in the long run. > Yes, but most GMs (maybe not the really old ones ;-) ) are like top athletes in endurance. Otherwise they would not be GMs. Fatigue is rarely a factor for healthy GMs in non-marathon games (if the game goes 10 hours or something, fatigue can obviously start becoming a BIG factor).
