I guess that also some luck is involved and the consistent behaviour is not the most expected behaviour even with a program that is relatively better with more time. I stopped the last match but I plan to continue it. > >>It seems that Movei is simply weaker at long time control and it is not >>surprising because it has poor order of moves and bad use of hash tables. > >Do you intend to try against another opponent?

I may consider crazybishop later and another experiment is to use different time control of x minutes/40 moves. Maybe Jonny was lucky in WCCC but I guess that the main reason for Jonny's success in WCCC relative to Movei and Crazybishop is probably not luck and not better hardware but inferior algorithm of the opponents or inferior evaluation of the opponents. Time control in WCCC was more than 10 times slower than 10 minutes for game even if you do not consider pondering. Uri
