When Hiarcs panics, as it happened in this game with an evaluation of -8.xx
while computing the last move that didn't play, at times the game is interrupted
and a "timeout" message appears on screen showing the eval and Hiarc's side. I
think that Hiarcs times out when it uses more than 15x the average time/move, in
this case 7.5 minutes. In this case I saw instead that Hiarcs, with 1 or 2
minutes left after move 52, used all its time, with the word TIME appearing on
its clock. I had never seen this before either. In this 8th game it was lost
anyway, but Hiarcs lost on time.
