If you would like, I can do the same tournament (or a different one) with pondering on. This is no problem, as I run them overnight. As for time management, I noticed that Tao is a bit liberal with its use of the clock. Of course, just about every engine appears liberal next to The King, which is notoriously conservative. There were many times when The King had more than 10 minutes left on the clock, and Tao had less than 5. Let me know what you want to do. I have always respected Tao as an excellent engine, and a new version definitely begs to be tested. jm
