Do you have a link for these? I think longer TC games should be more interesting
as the evaluation function becomes a lot more important. A clear example of this
is the games against Arno Nickel, he found faults in the comps play that would
take a very deep search to find, but perhaps with better eval could be overcome.
I also expect that Shredder, Hiarcs, Junior and the like would have much more
involved evals than these new engines, especially in areas such as endgames that
don't necessarily add a great amount to their rating, but make them far better
for analysis in many situations.

More testing is needed!!
