I second the notion, after 16 games against Fritz 8 at G/30 right at this moment
the score is dead even. I don't believe that longer time control will benefit
Fritz 8 more than CT15, I could be wrong but all the Fritz programs score better
at shorter time control than at longer time control from my own experience.
