When having 7:16 (7 minutes and 16 seconds) left on clock you put back
the internal clock to 7:00.

A lot more weight saving is putting it at like 2 or 3 minutes for entire game
then :)

Note i did give you this advice after you played me but i saw you keep making
this mistake every game you were in time trouble :)

Some say i'm a fast operator, but in textmode no one is fast.

So when we played and i had 8 minutes left on clock, i put my internal clock to
5 minutes.

Diep like Ruffian also is using up all its time for a few moves...
