Thanks, Daniel. Also thanks to Graham for his perseverance.

When I saw that it does not move I gave up. Now I know better.

Thanks for sharing Isa, Daniel.

1st game I tested (Isa facing Mess Mephisto Montreux, ~2250) under 40/10 20/5 time control (moves/minutes), Arena 3.0, Isa decreased its thinking time in a very regular manner from around 30s getting out of book, to 1s (!) on move 40, thus playing several very fast moves; then raised to 30s after getting the extra 5 minutes for the second time control, and started again to speed up very evenly. Time usage seems an area for enhancement :)...
Despite this, Isa defeated Montreux 1,5-0,5
On 15s average time level, Isa plays steadily in 15s with less risk for blunders.
Regards, Eric

My first impressions are very similar. I use WB and a 40/2 TC. When there are about 15 s left Isa starts moving instantly. After it has completed move 40 its time usage reverts to normal.

Also, now I use it together with the /xreuse option because on several occassions it stalled or did not accept the opponent's move claiming it was illegal.

And indeed there 's some room of improvements yet 😊
