R1 seems to perform consistently well on slower and faster machines over the full range of time controls. Taking this into account, it could very well be the best setting of the lot. If you're following the testing carried out by my brother Ray, you'll see that Assassin and R1 are outperforming the others. In Ray's tournament at 40/2hrs, Assassin is leading against the top engines at this stage. My belief though is that there is realistically very little difference in strength between these top settings, so you're likely to get exceptional results now and then from all of them. Regards, Graham.
