Thanks, Dann. Looks like one unmakes even ponder hits and hopes the hash tables
shall remake the unmake. If one must unmake ??, then UCI wins here. A ponder hit
under UCI means turn off ponder flag and keep searching uninterrupted.
BTW, I don't know what to do with "Stop accumulating time on your clock".
I don't use clocks. I simply accept the time left as reported to me by Winboard
before each move. So I can neither start nor stop accumulating anything.
So my approach is wrong ? !!
