At least that one was blitz.

Imagine waiting for it to finish like I was. It wasn't blitz.

i would have been bug eye

I once played in an ACM game (might have been against Stanback but I am not certain.) Started at 7pm. Levy went up to room and to bed at 2am. We drug him back down to the playing hall at 5:30am to ask him to adjudicate it a draw. No cigar. The game seemed to never want to end. I don't remember how many moves. I'll see what I can dig up. But sitting there that long (40 moves in 2 hours, then 20 moves in 1 hour or 10 moves in 30 minutes depending on the year) was excruciating sometimes.

A good illustration of why none of the top programs test with repeating time controls, only with increment. There are better ways to spend one's time (or your computer's time) than playing out drawn endings forever at a repeating time control. Repeating time controls are pretty much obsolete even for humans, more so for engines. You can get a noticeably higher quality game in the same average time with increments. But I'm not complaining, Komodo seems to top the rating lists either way. I admit to a certain bias, as I invented increment play (for the Micromate digital chess clock around 1980), not (as widely believed) Bobby Fischer.

BUT Bobby has the patent on it : http://www.google.com/patents/US4884255

He had the patent on that particular clock, but the Micromate clock was already sold to the public in 1980, nine years earlier, with instructions on how to set it for "Accumulation" (same as incrrement) and crediting me as the inventor. I suppose the Micromate manufacturer could challenge the patent, but the clock was no longer in production by 1989 so it would not pay for him to do so.
