Which time controls are meaningful for this situation? one move every 48 hours, it seems? How to do this depends on how you want the game played. Do you want a move every 48 hours, exactly? Then use st=X, where X is the number of seconds you want it to take (ie you would use 3600*48 to take exactly 48 hours). If you want it to _average_ 48 hours per move, then use the time command to set up the time control: time 40 X 40 X where 40 is the moves per time control, and X is the total time for the time control (in minutes in this case). make X 1440*80 and that says "average 2 days per move". I prefer this way as if it fails low, it has the option to use more time on that move to find a better one, at the expense of moving faster somewhere else. >2.

What have I to do so Crafty is moving immediately while thinking? type a "?" (no quotes) which says "move now". > >Please, between the lines! > >Thanks!
