In these games so far, hiarcs has used its time more (or better) than Fritz. In all occasions Hiarcs used more time than fritz did, but it most of time got outsearched, because Fritz7 is faster than Hiacrs. > >Does the programmer choose which time his program performs better at?

IMO they (author) dont actually choose in which time control their program performs better, but yes because of their programing technique one program might play stronger in differant time control, ie, LG2000 is supposed to play very strong in blitz comparing to long time control, Gromit is supposed to be the opposite. I would think that a more standard time control that a majority of players >play with would be more accurate to use for testing if the above is true, but if >the programmer doesn't write his program to better benefit certain time >controls, then the above statement is false. > >This is just a thought and i wonder what others might think regarding this? > >Either way it is still greatly appreciated that testers as yourself give all of >us great entertainment, and i personally thankyou and all the other testers for >all your efforts! > >Best Regards, >Terry It is a great entertainment for me too, and its even more fun to share it ;) cheers pavs
