This was (and still is) just my personal opinion from watching the games - there
is not enough data of course, as matches like these are pretty uncommon. I might
do another one later.

The opening (and the whole early middlegame) was very interesting too. Genius
has quite some knowledge to make up for its missing search depth. It's
unfortunate that it isn't possible to show the opponent's evals in a post game
report - it's sometimes very revealing.

But at the longer time control Movei certainly does a lot better against Genius,
as was expected. I am curious about future results with this time control (btw,
Movei will win its 30 0 match against Shredder hands down ;) ).
