Subject: Winboard Message Time Question

Author: Brian Richardson

Date: 16:06:59 08/19/05


From time to time, Tinker loses games on time, even though it is very rare, and
sometimes even with an increment.  The text below is from Tinker's log file (not
the Winboard debug file).  Notice the "long" (nearly one full second) time
between the time, otim and move messages.  Earlier in this game, the time
between these messages was very short.  Of course, Tinker was pondering during
this time, so the delay is likely due to Tinker not checking for input
frequently enough.  However, just wondering if others have seen anything like
this.

More importantly, when do you count your time as starting:  with the actual
move, or the "time" message which comes earlier?

Thanks
