Absolutely, pondering is very important e.g. for computer play against humans as I erperienced with Suzie in Villach! But my contest is more a test than a competition: winning is not as important as finding out the exact playing strength! Pondering is fuzzy and would confuse these results more than helping to get reliable results. So I set pondering disabled and give a high time setting instead and there is no WIN or LOOSE on TIME result!
