After Drexel posted his game I decided to match SmarThink vs Ruffian 1.0.1 at 5'+2" and in the first game SmarThink lost due to a time management problem when Ruffian still had 1.5 minutes SmarThink with an equal position only had 20 second left and as the time was getting shorter for SmarThink it suddenly blundered and lost a Queen for no reason but simply because it had to move withing certain amount of seconds left. then the 2nd game was also lost dut to time problem again, but the position was dead even until it only had 30 seconds left and Ruffian had 1 minute and 35 second left. now the third game the same is just about to be repeated. I don't recommend SmarThink at shorter time control specially at blitz less than 10 minutes, until this time management problem is resolved. I will post the 5 games later on. Pichard.
