The ChessBase Boys have their own strange definition of "Move Limit". First of
all the parameter doesn't mean "moves" but plies, so 240/2=120 moves. And
secondly it will not stop a game at move 120 but 120 played moves by the engine.
So when you have 25 bookmoves it will stop a game at move 145, when you have 8
bookmoves it will terminate the game at move 128.
