Time management of Amundsen 0.65.1

[Graham Banks]

Using a time control of 40 moves in 62 minutes under the Shredder GUI, Amundsen uses approximately 40secs-60 secs per move.
Has anybody else found a similar time management issue with this engine?

Does it perform similarly under Arena as a WB engine?

I dont use your time controls, but it performs rather OK under 1m+1sec. It does have less than perfect time management though. If it did used the time little bit more efficiently, it could play much better.

[Dr.Wael Deeb]

Yes Graham,almost the exact seconds that you mentioned are also demonstrated when using it as a winboard engine under Arena
It looks like it's time management is broken....

Thanks Wael. Not a problem at my end then which is reassuring.

Just as a matter of interest, have you managed to get OliThink 5.0.9 working correctly?
