I wonder how exactly this is handled in a tournament. Would you have to call the
arbiter and he/she/it would look over your shoulder while you type the 'settime'
command or something? I don't think the engine _really_ has to ask the question
in the first place. (or it would ask after every move, just to be on the safe
side :)
