Hi, what is long and short time control? A 60min/game on a PIII 500 is equal to a 10min/game on an athlon 64. Thus one cannot say which timecontrol is "better" for tests. Test the time control of which you like to know the relative strength of the engine. But remember that a low amount of games does not tell anything about the strength of an engine. I do not believe in any result with less than 100 games per engine, more are allways better. Even with 100 games you cannot judge the difference between engines of nearly same strength. That leads to the advice not to take too long time controls - if you want the result before the next version comes out. Greetings Volker
