i'm at a loss to know why i keep experiencing so many losses on time...even with increments (4' 2"). i think in my last 10 game match stockfish lost 6 or 7 on time, and didn't seem to move when it was out of book. i will try to post the games as soon as i work out how to. i am using fritz GUI if that makes any difference.
