For example search crafty kaidanov shows a bunch of 5 5 games. And don't forget that it will play any standard time control anyone wants, which pretty well negates any advantage from being automatic, and that it is over 2600 there as well. on chess.net the formula is more "open" and it is ranked #1 in both blitz and lightning (equivalent to ICC bullet). I avoid 2 12 blitz because several GM/IM players have asked me to do so so t that it doesn't get into very long games, particularly with guests. But several GM players play it at all sorts of time controls. GM Bill Lombardy, for example, played nothing but 5 14 against it...
