I didn't make any judgement prematurely, I simply said that Jonny performed
better at G/60 or longer time control and using an opening book, instead of the
match posted by Dann were DanChess and Moveinow performed better only because of
the shorter blitz time control. Jonny was deprived of using an opening book,
which could increase its rating by at least 30 points.
