But remember time is _not_ the factor to care about, G/120 on a pentium 200 MHz is actually about G/10 on a new fast Athlon. So I think it depends on what you are interested in, if you want high quality games, then you should do slow games, if you want good statistic, fast games will give you more bang for the buck (CPU time equals money you know:). I would love to see a G/5 rating list compared to a G/120 list, I think most good engines does about equally well in all time controls. -S.
