Especially with slow timecontrols. Does Ruffian do better at long time control relative to the best commercials programs (Shredder7.04 and chessmaster9000). I doubt it. Note that it is possible to do matches with time handicap under chessbase and I think that it may be interesting to run a match betweem Ruffian and Shredder7.04 when Ruffian get time advantage of 3:1 when after every game you play the same opening with opposite colors. It may be interesting to know if Ruffian can get better results at slow time control and if Ruffian can beat shredder or the king under these conditions. Match with equal time control are not interesting enough(Ruffian could get only 35% in these conditions against chessmaster9000). Uri
