As it's a version specifically intended for use under WinBoard AFAIK, it's no
surprise that timeallocation isn't supported correctly under Fritz. Especially
advanced timecontrol, like the one you use, instead of say 40/120'+40/120',
which probably wouldn't work correctly either, would demand some tweaking to
function correctly. Either G/X or Fischer time would most likely give the best
result. That's something I've learned from betatesting a WinBoard program also
intended for use under Fritz. That goes for other WinBoard programs as well I
imagine.
