 Yes, I wish for something like 40/40 - the longer the better...;-)
 But there are lots of things to investigate - like difference between no TB:s -
3-4 men - 3-5 men etc - and the progress of a certain engine (her name should
 not be uttered) regarding endgame knowledge etc. And in these cases a shorter
 time control will do. If an engine has the knowledge it will be seen quickly,
 I think.

 So just choose the time control of your liking and have fun! :-)
