Something like this will have to be done, if we are to find the best long time
control settings. What plays strong at fast time controls seems to be playing
weaker at longer time controls. This will make the job of finding good settings
much harder, if we can not count on the settings being strong at fast and slow
time controls. But if the point is to find just stronger fast setting, the way
we are doing it will work fine.
