Actually Jon
i Do notice this sometimes does happen even with other computers
although i never saw it with the DTTC

it could be a quirk in the code for search extensions or just that the computers freeze in some way

generally on the rare occasions when this occurs i just force the computers to move and i usually find they play to the time control fairly accurately from then on

of course i dont play the computers against each other to determine ratings or anything serious like that so i dont mind intervening in this way

3 Hirn Regards
Steve

PS.3 Hirn is a method of competing where two computers play a game against another computer with a human operator choosing the best move (in his opinion) from the two
if both computers choose the same move then this move must be played
the literal translation from the German is "3 Brains"
its actually quite fun and you should give it a try sometimes
