At the end of a game, it usually has over half its time left, while the other program is nearly running out of time, but winning. Perhaps they should be adjusted dynamically depending on the length of game, if the tournament games are played properly. Also 1.0 doesn't play any differently with 5 5 than with 5 0, as far as time usage. It seems to ignore the extra time afforded by the increment. kp kp
