About the only exceptions are when recaptures are obvious and then if the evaluation hasn't changed in this situation after ten minutes or so and I will go ahead and move. Keep in mind that some games from the opponents aren't that serious and they will default on time. Also it seems some are very weak amateur programs that made obviously bad moves. I haven't kept a record of the games. The only reason I quit using Genius 5 is my house burned and I lost everything so I decided to start over with Genius 7.
