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.

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
