Because of the time controle I use (40 moves/40 minutes), if both engines do not
support the 50 moves rule they keep on playing!
When I was testing (before I started my tournament) the longest game was almost
running 13,5 hours before I found and aborted it! (near to 500 moves)
Thats not what I want to see :-))
