Good question, I was going to play the first two games using this time control:
120'/40+60'/20+30' but I just wanted to experiment by allowing it more time at
the second time control where Hiarcs 8 is at the middlegame stage, if it matter
at all. Apparently it did, since by increasing the time control to:
120'/40+120'/20+30 it played better than the third and fourth games.
