I haven't yet produced any serious evidence that the slower play speed has proven to be detrimental, so I am reluctant to change it just because it manages its time differently from The King. In fact, the longest game in the match was won by Movei on its 134th move. But you can see that, in that game, Movei played its last 72 moves with less than two minutes left on the clock! As I said, very impressive! jm
