This is a useful hint, I haven't checked so far in which games Junior 8 exceeded
the time control. So I took a closer look now. In game 17 Junior as white
exceeded the time by about 3 minutes with move #40 but lost anyway. That was the
only game in this collection. But I remember a game I didn't save where Junior 8
took a deep breathe and calculated for more than 60 minutes for ONE move - it
was a move number lower than #30!. Unfortunately 60 minutes is the time-out I
had set so a new game started after reaching 60 minutes automatically. I am sure
Junior 8 would have exceeded the time in this game again, but what shall I do,
count it as lost? No this was an interrupted game.
Those are the only 2 cases I know of. Now I use the patched version and those
problems should be gone.
