Well, we had this discussion a while back on this list. I (and some others) argued that humans play fast extremely well and that more time provides a rapidly decreasing benefit. If I remember well it was you who was arguing this not being the case and that pros benefit greatly with more time. So it seems we're starting to see some support for the argument that at least in Go professional players don't benefit as much from more time than computers do at the moment.
