And we do it. Exactly! That is for example the reason why I play Blitz games (10/game and below) with PB off (still on two machines, though). Because if you have an average of 10 seconds per move, fluctuations in operator time of just +- 1 second can already make a significant difference. Even in my 40/120 games it is very tricky whenever I have to stop the game for dinner or a longer phone call, I always have to close both programs. --- Shep
