I usually play anywhere from 15/15 to 25/25 and set ct15 timer to 60minutes fixed timer; 192mb hash;'secret' tweak settings[patent pending]. Under these parameters, ct15 is indeed one tough kitty to beat. My main complaint is with ct15's playing style. As has been pointed out by one of the beta testers,(Thorsten, I believe), CT15's style is very 'quiet'. Reminds me of tiger 12. I realize that some players palpitate and drool over Petrosian style chess, but that is not my cup of tea; I prefer the more aggressive style of GT2. In sum, ct15 is not weak in long time control. What it is, though, is a program with a somewhat passive style of play.
