How am I supposed to know what time controls are supported by the program? As you noted, the program has a time control deficiency that should be corrected. That is what I don't like about the direction of chess programming - more and more programs don't have opening logic, they don't have book logic, they don't have endgame logic -- they are leaving that to the interface. With that said, I examined all the draw and losses : Of the 6 draws - they were all drawn or drawish by the 40the move. Of the 9 losses, 2 appear to be the result of the time control programming deficiency as noted by you above. The other 7 losses were LOST by the 40th move. Michael
