I expected yace to be better than most programs at time control of 500 moves/5
minutes but when I played a game at that time control I find that Yace does not
use most of it's time.
I thought based on reading posts of Dieter that Yace knows to use time in an
intelligent way.
Here is a game when yace lost against movei under winboard
Yace used only 38 seconds for all the game when Movei used 211 seconds.

I think that yace blundered in the pawn endgame by Kc2 when 48.b3 is a draw.
I find the result surprising because movei of today has no special knowledge
about pawn endgame and when I saw it go to a pawn endgame I expected it to lose.
