      In my_opinion, this is a popular but wrong
      statement or a statement that is only correct
      when comparing moves in the analysis mode. The
      time management of engines being different between
      10m/games and 60m/games, I think you will never
      get the same results if you would make a comparison
      in a long lasting match with two PC's as per your
      example. Has anyone already tested this?
