Hi Andrew,

Thanks a lot for your hint! I will try this with my blitzin the next time
I am at ICC :).
The help files and manuals got bigger and bigger so its really impossible
to know all this stuff...there are always some interesting features left
to discover but this makes it even more alive too.
If I got you right the symmetrical assumption of time by this "may be cheating"
person makes you presume a human with a chess prog nearby could have played
this game? Especially in the beginning 1-4 moves a human normally wont take so
long I believe.
Its a pity but Computer cheating will stay on a high level I suppose although
chess servers may try harder to get rid of them.

Much regards,Günther
