That's too fast for it I'm afraid - 3 mins minimum should be safe. I couldn't do much with the time management, C++ is difficult for me - all
classes and stuff. Maybe Dann can have a look at it (c++ sources included).

Jim.
Actually, minimum 4 mins would be safest. It's would be easy though for me to build a custom version designed
to run at a specific fixed time control. So if want one which runs ok in 1m+1sec (but only this) let me know and I'll compile one for you.

Hi Jim,

yes, speaking for Tony as well, we want a special version to suit this time control :) I hope its not much of a work.

Regards and Thanks as usual.

1. Switched resign function on.
2. Fixed some bugs/error in code.
3. Added some custom builds for fast time controls.
