Subject: CM9000 'human' personality ratings accurate only for fischer 5/10?

I just read in the CCC archive that CM9000 personality ratings were established
at time controls of fischer 5/10.  Is that true for the human games CM9000
played as well?

Has anyone played CM9000 personalities at slower time controls?  How accurate do
they seem?  I'm specifically thinking about the Class A/B 'human' personalities.

Back in the late 80's when Larry Kaufman was editor of Computer Chess Reports
the rule of thumb was to take a computer's speed rating and subtract 200 and
that would approximate it's tournament time control rating.  Should 150 be
subtracted in the case of CM9000 'human' personalities (fischer 5/10 is not as
fast as G/5, so subtract less) to better approximate tournament time control
ratings?


Regards,
