If I see anything I will send you the information by mail. What I know is from the games I delete yesterday that in booth games Arasan loosed on time in move 80! Perhaps your time management is to "focussed" (hope the right English word) for get the full power. Because what I see is that the time management in Arasan is very very good, with ponder and without ponder. But unfortunately, I have this problems on my Dual Xeon system. Yes, so we have the same opinion! Test games are with 40 / 40 optimal :-) The time control I played with Kai and Djordje, Chrsitian the first WinBoard tourneys for around 4-5 years and the CCE Turney, 18 months still running. But with all the availalbe engines (I will see all, or the most of the engines) is 40 in 40 to long, for a good testing optimal. Best Frank
