It is a Nunn Match - it uses 10 opening positions selected by GM Nunn. Wrong conclusion. In ponder on games engines do not use time efficiently when it is opponent move so 3 minutes with ponder off may be equivalent to 4.5 minutes with ponder on and practically there is no equivalence because some engines have better time management with ponder on and some engines have better time managament with ponder off.
