Now when your time management is weak and flat, that doesn't mean much, you will maybe find 1-2 new bestmoves in a game, mabe none. But in 2 hours/game it means 12 minutes 'more'. So if your program can spot those interesting places where something happens and extend time there, you can use those 12 extra minutes for searching 2-3 crucial positions longer by 4-6 minutes each... -Andrew-
