Crafty supports up to three time controls... 40/2hr, then 60/1hr, then SD/30
is perfectly doable.

But there is _no_ rule that says when your opponent picks up a piece, you can't
type the name of the piece.  When he puts it down, you can type the square.  I
don't hit return until he hits the clock as in blitz (with Cray Blitz) I usually
don't stick with 'touch-move' to keep the opponents happier...

At ACM events I didn't adjust the clock time unless it got off by over 1
minute.  In a 40 / 2hr time control, I never had that problem unless I missed
it making a move because I had gone to the restroom or was talking to someone.
