Hi Mikael !

I'dont think so. Playing 5m/g it can happen all what you think about or not.
Playing games with 5 or 10m/g is nonsense. I've seen games on this level where
one engine has had +7.00 or more and less moves later this engine lost the game
(not on time) !!!
The MHz of the CPU isn't important. With longer time control i've never
seen such unusual behavior.
I think that the result on "this" 286-12MHz and 120m/g would bring
the same result as my match on the P4 on this level !

Best G.S.
