It preform better with longer time controls Still why a program plays worse in end games is fishy to me Maybe less pre programed end game knowledge then previous versions But it does hit the table bases frequently with longer time controls A lot more then previous versions. the blitz setting might be so fast they can't hit the table bases soon enough . After which the less preprogramed knowledge will be missed I am just fishing but this might be the reason. Perhaps Amir can confirm this. Marc
