Hi John,
   Thanks for your input. I do have version 1.0.4, so I think I have the latest
patch. But I think you may be on to something with the "Auto" selection. I did,
in fact, adjourn my 2nd round game. After completing that round, I probably did
push the "Auto" button for the 3rd round. That would make sense on why I "lost"
on the first move... I ran out of time!

   I'm sure that's it.

   I'm looking forward to the new version in a couple of weeks! Surprisingly,
still no information on the Chessmaster site!!??

Thanks again...
