It also timed out in game two although on playing it out lost. But I don't see how in Didzis 1 hour games it could have made any time control like that. It make no attempt to even blitz as the 60 mins is up. I truly assume if I count losses on time in this manual tourney "Easter" CSTal will lose a lot. Thanks. > >KarinsDad :)
