It definitely works for blitz time controls. So you should test first if it
works for you at 3+2 with my inbetween.ini.
Chessmaster should not lose on time at 3+2 and should not think longer than 20
seconds per move.
If it does not work you probably do something wrong.

I did not test it for longer time controls since you need to translate every
second.
You could turn logging on in inbetween.ini and Wb2Uci.eng and study the logfiles
to figure out what the problem is at longer time controls.
I have no idea.
