There are ideas that can be important if the program knows that it is going to get exactly 30 minutes. suppose that a program fail low after 29 minutes and find a score of -7.00 pawns against itself. In normal condition it may try to finish the iteration but in conditions of exactly 30 minutes per move it may be better to calculate the value of second best move at reduced depth and play it because it may have no time to find another move at the same depth. 2)How do you use Junior7 Do you use it in analysis mode or in a specific time control when you stop it after 30 minutes(for example 1 hour/1 move+1 hour/1 move+24 hours per game). I do not know which is the best way to use Junior at that time control but you may get different results because Junior does different jumps in the depth when it assumes a specific time control. Uri
