...on a 4x 3090 rig. The game ran 299 moves, giving katago 100 minutes if it exhausted time on each move (which must be the optimal strategy under that time control). Shin used about 205 minutes, over twice as much time and of course had leeway to spend more time on difficult moves.

Based on the youtube video, it looks like katago was only using 16 seconds per move, is that right? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-86zF4mTWOY

Is 20 seconds on that hardware really overkill and well into the diminishing-returns curve, as a top-level comment suggested, or is it plausible katago could have played better if given 40 seconds per move?
