Hello Lin,
I'm sure that's not the reason.  The SSDF is following it's own schedule.  The
games with CM6K can be arduous at times.  I know because I played Chessmaster
about 60 games at 40/90 time control.  Sometimes you get a 15 hour game and it
takes the fun out of it.  This is especially true when the programs are "marking
time" until forced to do something by the 50 move rule....  Even then sometimes
they will move a pawn and start the 50 move count again.  The blame lies with
Mindscape for not having the auto232 incorporated not SSDF.
