Everything I know about the way top pros play says the opposite: quickly
diminishing returns from extra time. The first move they think of is
often the one they will choose even after 10 minutes of study.

Do you, or anyone, have studies that deal with this, for go? (I saw your
other post on chess, but I think this may be somewhere chess and go
differ: perhaps due the emphasis in go on good shape?)
