You are right. For some reason the code was disabled. I don't know, when I
disabled it, perhaps it was never in a public version. In news.txt I had written
for version 0.23:

"Don't use less time for the search with time control 60 moves in time,
than with time control game in time. This was suggested (not for Yace)
by Uri Blass."

The comment would also apply to 500 moves/5 minutes. In the next version it
should work (again?).

Regards,
Dieter
