Hi Steve
My CM9000 personality is not optimized for longer time controls. The fact is
that we were/are usually doing all our tests at 40'/40. This is just a matter of
taste as we do not like blitz games. And it was only after having got good
results with CM9_Utz12n when other people noticed that there would be stronger
CM9-settings at shorter time controls. And for this reason I have never thought
about your question.
