I have played _hundreds_ of games vs GM players, using a _real_ chess clock, real chess pieces, giving crafty 5 real minutes on the clock. I have _never_ lost such a game on time. I don't lose a second per move. Incorrect moves does _not_ stop crafty from pondering. Perhaps it breaks your program, but not mine.
