[H.G.Muller]

The tourney is played in incremental TC, mostly because TSCP Gothic also does not support N moves per M minutes. The increment is very small, so that engines not implementing an increment (such as Smirf) are not too disadvantaged, but get it as a pleasant surprise. (Which, in case of Smirf, really helps to prevent time losses at fast TC.)

But when I have the sources I probably could find a trick to manipulate the time per move Vortex uses during the game, based on how much time WB says it still has, and knowledge of how many moves WB expects it to play in this time.
