Movei lost on time but Sos already saw mate for itself when it happened. I decided to use 2 hours for all the game with the assumption that it will be enough for 60 moves. It was allowed My assumption was wrong and it seems that there is some bug in movei's time management. Not bug that can cause it to lose on time in games under winboard or under arena but bug that can cause it to lose on time in manual game. Except fixing it I think to tell movei that it has less time than the time that the external clock tells it. It seems that the bug cause it to use move time after fail low even after finishing the iteration but I will check later. Movei also use more time in case of big advantage for one side so it was another reason that it got into time trouble. Movei had 7 minutes to finish the game based on the internal clock when it lost on time. Here is the game I forgot to save it immediatly after the game and copied the moves to winboard so I post it here.
