Subject: Computer Lag Problem

Author: Norm Pollock

I ran a game between Crafty 19.17 and Delfi 4.5 with time controls of
40/6',20/3', 3'. The game went to 117 moves at which time Crafty lost due to
time in a drawn ending. Crafty had more material btw. Delfi went into "panic
mode" with 50 seconds left, but Crafty went ito "panic mode" with 20 seconds
left. Because of the computer lag which I estimate to be about 1/3 second per
move, Crafty ran out of time first and there was not enough time for the 50
moves rule to apply.

Is this a common problem for many engines?
