The development team was considering killing it, but had no data >on how much it is actually used). many chessbase programs use the 40/120 20/60 rest of the game/30 hour-glass shit. older programs normally don't use this mix of tournament AND game in X time controls. it came with fritz. and all fritz engines (junior,nimzo,hiarcs, ...) used it too. therefore suddenly it was a topic. you don't have to use the 3rd game in X part of the time control. leave it sero and program will play tournament time controls. >The only unofficial ELO I have for CM8000 is 2724.
