I think that good adapter should not believe Fritz and in games of more than 256 give the engine time that it calculates and not time that stupid Fritz gives it. Good adpater also should not give the engine FEN when it is trivial that the only reason is that Fritz interface gave it FEN instead of move at move 256. It should read the FEN that Fritz interface got and translate it to move in case that it is possible. It will not prevent problem with long games but at least it can prevent the problem of losing on time near move 256 and will delay the problem to move 300. Uri
