Yes, I agree. My analysis also shows that 30...Rg8 was better. 30...Rf7 is
losing. I didn't test how much time different programs need, but it could be
interesting to see.

When I said that I believe I would do better at tournament control, it is
because experience shows that humans gain relatively more from a time increase.
That is a fact shown by many years of experience.
