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. Mogens.
