Subject: "Move Now" during Chessbase GUI engine tournament

Let's imagine for a moment that you're sitting watching an engine tournament
being played on your PC. Just for entertainment, of course, not for a scientific
comparison of different engines. You're getting bored because your favourite
engine is sitting thinking for minutes about an obvious capture. "Go on, make
that move!" you say. You hit the Space key, which forces an engine to move
immediately during a normal match, but it doesn't work. So you grind your teeth
and light your tenth cigarette...

But wait! There's another undocumented way to force an engine to move
immediately during an engine tournament. Just type Alt-H followed by A. Nice,
isn't it?
