I think it is _very_ hard to make/expect an engine to make a move in _exactly_
the length of time you want.  I don't like games played like this for one main
reason:  In crafty, if the time control is X/Y, (X moves in Y minutes) then it
will "average" Y/X minutes per move.  But if it sees trouble, it can used much
more and then make this up later.  If you use the st=N command in Crafty, this
defeats the ability to use more time when in trouble, which seems wrong when you
think about it.

Don't know about DF, but I would not be concerned about it going over a bit,
since this is an abnormal way to play a game...
