What time control do you use?
Do you use 120/40 time control?

The ssdf games were done at 120/40
The ssdf also give wrong rating to the low computers and you should add 100 elo
so you should give palm tiger a rating of 2200 and not 2100 and I guess that
palm genius may get rating of 1900 if it has 1800 based on the ssdf.

I can add that I see no reason to be disappointed from a new program of richard
lang.

In the last 8 years there is no improvement or almost no improvement in genius
so I simply exepect nothing from him.
