IE if he moves instantly for 8 moves, he has about 15 minutes for a "deep think" but then has to use no more than 2 minutes per move from then on. We did a GM vs computers tournament (round robin) on chess.net a few years back. I was involved in a lot of discussion about time controls since chess.net is also based on the FICS code and doesn't do "normal" time controls either. The base time vs increment was a _big_ topic with the GMs, while I just sat back and listened since I didn't think Crafty "cared" one way or the other... But their point was to try to find something that would "feel natural" to them as in playing real tournament games.
