Advantage of this game is it can be played by any engine, without changing anything, provided it accepts the start position. This can be tricky, because some GUIs will say it is illegal (it is not chess), like Shredder GUI. So the game was played in ChessX. Another very nice interface and it is free!
I do not really know my way around in the GUI so the time control is a mess, both engines played pretty fast but I do not really see exactly what the tempo was.
Go Ed and Chris's Rebel EAS!
