It is possible. My GUI does this, as I like to monitor "time allocated," "time left," and "znodes." I do this to see how far "over" the alloted time the engine uses, which may indicate that I don't check time_left often enough. Problems do arise, though, when the engine decides that it needs to spend more time, because it's resolving a fail low, or that it can safely make a move without using all of its time (found a mate, or the move to make is an obvious recapture). -- James On September 11, 1999 at 17:27:30, Alan Grotier wrote: > >A colleage of mine has a Fidelity MACH 3 chess challenger computer. >One feature I liked was the clock option. > >This feature is especially handy if you play the computor at it's higher levels >and want to be able to walk away from the board for a few minutes. >While this option is engaged,the computor will display the amount of total time >it expects to take for the move,and count down the time instead of up,and >therefore is able to tell you ahead of time approximately how long it will take >to move. > >Salut:Alan
