I have played hundreds of games with both Chesstiger 13.0 and Gambit 1.0 and
have yet to see them lose on time. Especially losing three out of 20, something
must be wrong.

I have watched this program play on servers at 1/0 and IMHO in it probably the
best program for not losing on time. While the opposite is true of Junior 6a.
