Interesting difference in performance for DS3.0 between the Blitz Championship where DS3 wins clear first...and the standard play Championship where DS3.0 has managed only one win so far

i guess the hardware superiority of Octals and Clusters (over Duals and Quads)make more of a difference in longer time controls then quicker time controls?

would be interesting to know the typical search depths reached per move by the top 3 programs in the Blitz championship compared to the Standard Championship

Steve

No, I think in blitz Sjeng got the best operator (didn't lose on time, didn't load Fritz 5 instead of Rybka, etc.)

Yes, they said the event is mostly just for fun and a lot of luck is involved.
