There are significent differences between between matches played on different
speed hardware and matches at time odds in the areas of pondening and time
management, e.g. in the experiment above, the null-move crafty will outsearch
the other crafty by several ply each time it ponders the right move, and will be
outsearched by several ply otherwise.
