I was looking forward to some very interesting battles between SMIRF and Rob/George. I am rather disappointed that Reinhard did not play at the time control that was set up for the whole rest of the tournament.
Reinhard has always been looking for notes from good players on how to make his program stronger, and I believe he wasted a very good opportunity.
I enjoy when players "take too long" to move. It allows me to map out how to handle every possible strategical scenario of consequence.
I would have enjoyed seeing how SMIRF did given 96 hours or more to move.
Good luck to Rob and George playing out the remainder of the tournament. I hope you both win
