I've noticed that different engines use time differently.(e.g., fruit 2.2 uses it horribly in blitz). in the 4 2 setting, fritz seems to regularly use more time in the middle game than rybka (which must increase its strength in middle game). I suspect that chessbase programs, in particular fritz, have the best blitz time management. But who is really interested in how well a program manages time. It would be nice if both programs could be forced to use the same time management algorithim. Forcing programs to keep to so many seconds per move does not work, since this time control is insensitive to the complexity/criticalness of the position Forcing programs to stop at a fixed play doesn't work, since this would disadavantages programs that have very fast search depth.. I think if you had a universal clock, fritz 8 and 9 would not look as good in blitz as they do now. any thoughts! best J
