I agree that exact time record is important but there is no need for having the
string "EMT" in the pgn a lot of times.

Thorsten did not complain about information about times but about EMT that is
not needed(same for the string "EVAL").

It can be clear that the information means time even without the EMT string
because evaluation has depth.

if you see -0.05/15 34 then it is clear that it means evaluation of 0.05 pawns
for black(or for the side to move dependent on the engine) at depth 15 and time
of 34 seconds.
