I'd prefer the longer time control, though I guess my vote has to be weak as my program wouldn't be there until Summer at the earliest. > the Monte Carlo programs which play quite strongly even at > 2 minutes per game. That summarizes my main argument against short time controls: it limits the choices for experimentation so to meet time controls everyone will end up running very similar MC programs. With more time people have some breathing space to experiment with new ideas and intelligence.
