Go up one level in this thread


I find it difficult to empircally demonstrate that programs differ in their
relative ranking, depending on time (not including time controls below 4 minutes
mind you, where wierd stuff does happen). Ponder is kind of like increasing time
to think.

 For example, the cegt blitz  ratings correlate .99 with the CEGT longer time
controls.

I would love to see evidence of changes in rank due to differences is ponder or
time.

maybe hiarcs 10 hyper modern is a candidate for being better at blitz. e.g.,
check out its standard rating
(http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/cegtrating4040all.html)

 versus its blitz rating (http://www.husvankempen.de/nunn/eloblitzall.html)

Fruit, in contrast, may be a little weaker in blitz.
