Of course. But I'm aware of the problem since several months.

Even in a lost position a chess program still tries to fight. Is this what the
human player is doing in these games?
There are no double standards BTW, as a program losing on time doesn't get any
point. Exactly as if a human loses on time.
I said in another post that I accepted the erroneous rules of chess servers (in
a regular tournament the game would have been a draw because one player is not
doing any attempt to improve its position and the other player can claim it way
before losing on time), and I will address this problem.
