Hello Sarah,
By the way, the comment about previous versions not using their time is not
exactly correct either.  I played 3 matchs with CM6K vs Fritz/Junior/Rebel10 at
40/60 and CM6K used it's time reasonably well especially compared to CM8K.  It
never ran down to "0" but it did use more than 15 minutes for the whole game.
In fact using 45-50 minutes was common for the first 40 moves.  I don't own CM7K
so can't comment on it.
Jim
