24 Hours - Match #5 -- Some odd (buggy?) behaviour

[Andrew]

This match has some odd behavior by both Shredder and Fruit. Firstly,
both sides take far too long in some cases when there are only a few moves
to mate, see especially the end of the 4th game!

Secondly, at move 13 in the last game Shredder suddenly decides it's
playing blitz and nearly all the moves after are extremely quick, even with
over 8 hours left on the clock I have no idea if this is a problem with
the engine, the interface or something else. If I don't here in about a day
that this is a known problem I'll try repeating the last game in the Shredder
interface and see what happens. Any ideas?? Still, it had a nice win in the first game!

I've replayed the last game in the Shredder 11 interface and the problem
of quick moves disappeared. (used same hash and learning off).

I'm fairly confidant that the problem would have been from unselecting the
"retain hash" button in the engine preferences. For example move 2 for
shredder has clearly searched deeper. Also using infinite analysis for
this position with hash cleared it had 3. f3 as best and didn't go for a4.

I repeated the last game in the Fritz 10 interface but with retain hash on for Shredder. This time it still played some instant moves, moves 9 and 10. Move 7 also looks a bit quick.
I've also noticed in the third game move 10 and 13 were very quick, in
the second game move 19 was quick. Even in the Shredder 11 interface
move 9 was very quick (14s), so maybe there is a time management
problem with the engine.
