Anyway, with only one move to go and CST-2 has 4:13 to make one move >it runs out of time!? So it should have been 1-1 but ended up 2-0 for Hiarcs. >I hate this problem of CST-2 more than any other problem it has.

I could guess in the 78 moves cstal lost maybe 5 minutes on operator-time and this is excatly the 5 minutes hiarcs' clock complained about. Whatever - you can (complain and) send the game to oxford-softworks. if chris comes back from holiday, he can work on it. But - i don't think there is a bug in the time control management. thank you.
