Genius is known to be good espacially at short time control. I expect palm tiger to score more than 50% only if the time control is slow enough. I do not know what is the time control that is needed but I strongly believe that 120/40 is not slow enough. If palm tiger earns 20 elo more than genius from doubling the time control and if genius4(on 486) is 100 elo better than palm tiger in 120/40 time control then it means that you need time control that is 32 times slower than tournament time control to give palm tiger 50%. It means that palm tiger may get 50% at 64 hours/40 moves and may beat Genius4(486) in a correspondence game. Uri
