Isn't that a time control not usually played in serious games? > The humans lost on time because they simply couldn't play all > the tedious post-endgame moves.

They would have easily beat weaker opponents at this same time control. I'm not saying this is a good time control for people but they did agree on that time control and should plan accordingly. I would prefer something a lot more intelligent, like the Fischer clock where N seconds get immediately added to the clock after each move. For a relatively quick game it could be 5 minutes + 3 seconds per move. You can even build up extra time on your clock for tougher moves by playing a few move more quickly. - Don > Darren > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
