Stockfish 2.2 JA Time management.

[Master Om]

Stockfish 2.2 JA time management has some problems. It is loosing in time most of the time. Don't know know if others are facing it. This is the first time I am facing in stockfish. Any Ideas ?

I'm having no problems. Could you post an example PGN file if possible?

On my old Intel Quad (no SSE support, Vista 64bit) Stockfish 2.2 JA 64bit looses 1/3 of all games on time under LittleBlitzerGUI with 60 seconds + 500ms Fischer Bonus. Version 2.1.1 doesnt...
Testing for my NEBB-Rankinglists is impossible...

Yea, I have the answer. If you would quit this 2min.+1sec. and 5min.+3sec., etc.- meaning stay away from Fischer time controls- you would be fine and it would not lose a game on time. But you like everyone else, thinks that is the way to go. Figure out what would be comparable to your time, either 40/2 , 40/3, 40/4 repeating- whatever. And stay away from silly fischer time controls. Problem solved. Nothing wrong with Stockfish- many engines- strong ones- don't understand the type of controls you try to use.

I am assuming w/o being told that fischer controls are what you are using. And I don't care if 1000 others are and not having a problem. If I am wrong- my apologies. If I am right, shed them and use sensible controls.

I used it in Playchess room today and I saw it lost in time in a equal position.
I will post pgn after i am back from office.

Stockfish 2.2 JA time management has some problems. It is loosing in time most of the time. Don't know know if others are facing it. This is the first time I am facing in stockfish. Any Ideas ?

I reported this bug to Jim Ablett after few minutes from the release (it is reported in the original thread), he's aware of it, but i would like that someone else could tell the stockfish team about this.

I simply found that 2.2 almost always loses on time in ultra fast games because when it has less than 10 seconds without increment it becomes very slow. Obviously i am talking about sudden death games (without increment).

Thank you
