1. ( I only post this one here , but it wasn't my idea ) If the time management suffers that much if either ponder=on or ponder=off why not add code that checks if ponder is enabled or not at the start of the game and adjust your time management ? I really like this idea . 2. Matches on two machines Imagine we play a match on two computers without autoplayer , say 40/2 . It will often happen that as time is needed to transfer the moves to the other computer the engines get the impression they are winning on time . Is this a problem ? And regarding time management : in a 40/2 I as human would certainly play differently if my opponent has 16 moves to make to reach the time control in 1 minute when I have one hour for the rest . Are there chessprogs who do that too ? If so , doesn't playing on two computers the way described above seriously weaken them then ( for example if you play under winboard where I don't know how to adjust the opponent's clock ) ?
