The same engine won in every match in each set. The margins of victory decreased in 7 of the 9 cases where the time control was increased (i.e., almost 78% of the time). To me, this supports the idea that, IN GENERAL, the better engine will win by smaller and smaller margins as the time control increases -- leading to the possible conclusion that more games at faster time controls is a very efficient way to determine which of two engines is better (but not by how much). Russell Reagan made this (IMHO excellent) post recently, which the new results seem to support: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?320960
