Subject: I look for short games (fewer moves) in long time control

I found this Deep Junior 9 blunder because I always scan the tournaments that
are posted. I will look for time control. If it is long time control, I will
look for games that are about 50 moves and under.

I believe that if two programs come out of book (about 20 moves) with 0 eval,
and of course if nothing is waiting in the closet, then it takes more than 30
moves  for todays top programs to win on strong hardware.

I look for blunders or for a big advantage coming out of book with a win of 50
moves or less.

I noticed that some tournaments with long time control had wins with few
moves--I noticed Chessfun would post tournamnets with long time control and most
of her games were very long to win.

Deep Junior 9 played 31.Qe5??
31.Rxe6 draws.
