But, I have been beta testing Tao for Bas for about a month. I have run matches on FICS (TaoGizmo) and at home with different settings. What I have discovered is when the time control is below 10/0 to say 5/0 or lower Tao does not preform as well against the same engines that it is able to win against in longer time controls. For example, I tested Tao against Smarthink, in 60/0 games it was 8-2-0 for Tao, in short matches, 5/0 it was 5-3-2 Smarthink. I am aware of the links you provided above and Tao is outstanding in these positions, it just a different story in playing normal games. I'm still testing different settings at different time controls to see if I can change this. I can report that using the follow settings in long games with pondering does very well as I ran them for a week on FICS and quickly jumped to the top ten systems in standard ratings. It should be noted that running these settings in matches on a single CPU will not do well as pondering is a must.
