However, if you play blitz levels like 90 0, then you have consequences like this. If you asked me in advance, then i would not have told you to expect that i would get to move 187 at all in a computer-computer game which was hand operated. Both operators played like 50 moves extra with very little time on the clock. If you do not find it fair to win on time, then don't play 90 0 is my viewpoint. I prefer 40 in 2 myself too. If you go 90 0, it is unpreventable that a number of games end in a time win. In this case i can add that for like 150 moves i had a won position with DIEP. If that's not enough moves... :) >On October 28, 2002 at 08:50:52, Jouni Uski wrote: > >it was time trouble. if you see well then you will see that >before the times were put to blitz at the programs, that white >was won whole endgame.
