I think that the time control was 90/30+60/game and the humans played 2 games in
a day except the first day(not easy conditions for humans
but thess conditions were the usual conditions in kfar-saba).

Gofstein lost in the past to a child who had a rating close to 2000(Igor
bitansky)
so you cannot learn from one game about Junior's ability in 1994.
