I am not sure if the chessbase interface cannot play on or if it sends the
engine wrong information that cause it to lose on time.

I tested Movei under the chessbase interface not in playchess and one of the
problem is that after move 256 the interface send fen and not a move.
It also seems to me that the chessbase interface does not send correct time to
the engine.

and in 10+10 assumes that the time remaining is always 610 seconds regardless to
the time on the clock.

programs probably can play if they do not believe the time that the interface
tell them but they should also know to ignore the position that they
get(otherwise they can do repetition in a better position for no reason).
