I haven't used auto232 for 2-3 years. I see what you mean now as there is no
auto232 move-limit option in the autoplayer, strange... I remember there was in
previous Fritz's.

As far as I can see there are 2 ways to handle the problem:

1) Continue playing till move 160 and adjudicate the game yourself.

2) Move to ChessPartner auto232.
