Winboard Time Control question

Geschrieben von:/Posted by: Volker Pittlik am 15 Januar 2000 17:26:31:
Hi,
I want to play games with 40 moves in 2 hours and 30 minutes for the rest of the show. I think it's impossible under Winboard, isn't it?
Ich würde gerne Spiele mit folgender Zeiteinteilung machen: 40 Züge in 2 Stunden, den Rest in 30 Minuten. Wenn ich mich nicht schwer täusche, lässt sich das in Winboard nicht einstellen. Andere Meinungen?
Best regards
Volker

I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "for the resr of the show" but I just tried it and it does seem to work, just set it for 40 moves, and 150 minutes.
Is that what you mean? here:
[Event "Computer chess game"]
[Site "DEFAULT"]
[Date "2000.01.15"]
[Round "-"]
[White "pete"]
[Black "Crafty"]
[Result "*"]
[TimeControl "40/9000"]
1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 b6 5. Bd2 Bb7 6. Nf3 O-O 7. Be2 d6 8.
O-O Nbd7 9. a3 Bxc3 10. Bxc3 Ne4 11. Bb4
*
Crafty had just left the book, I didn't stick around long enough for it to calculate out a move, I just saved it and left.

Oops, "rest" is what I wanted to write. The programs should play the first 40 moves of the game within 2 hours and _all_ following moves within 30 minutes. Any idea?

Oh, it's not provided for in the gui is it(?) I don't know of a way to do that, but maybe there is something that you can build into Winboard's command line parameter, I have not dug around in the text files and help files to see, maybe it's posible, maybe not, who knows.
I somehow dout if all of the Winboard engines would understand the switch in time controls if you found a way, because there's a large variation in the amount that different engines are Winboard compatible (using it's commands etc.)
