Ex. For 30 minutes for the hole game use: level 0 30 0 For game 60 min. for the hole game plus 30 sec. increment each move use: level 0 60 30 For game with 2 hour for 40 moves level 40 120 0 All timecontrols have to be equal here. To show time reminding for Crafty use 'clock'. To stop the PV from being displayed use: xboard nopost The clock command is special for Crafty, other command are pure Winboard and should be in all engines. For equalent to 'clock' read the spesific engines readme file. Odd Gunnar
