Example: Some top-engines (Shredder for example) play very strong against weaker amateurs, others not. With only 6 topengines in a list, that effect will be ignored...If you want to know, how the engines improve their chess with more thinkingtime or on faster hardware, you can look at the blitz-results and compare them with the results at 10+5. An engine, that is stronger in 10+5 than in blitz (negative blitz-result in the list (red column)), will be much stronger with longer timecontrols (60 or soemwhat) or on a faster hardware, too (best example: Aristarch 4.6). An Engine with a positive blitz-result will play weaker on longer timecontrols or on a faster hardware (best example: Fritz 5.32). Greetings - Stefan Pohl
