Thank you Martin, is there a log file generated by gui you use? if so can I get logs from Deuterium games, I like to study its time management and search at this time control.
Congratz to Daniel.

There are, but unfortunately I have removed them.

I promise that I will keep all logs from now on, in case anyone wants them.

Best,
Martin
