The clocks don't display for every game. Just had a new game start and the clocks are displaying 0.00 for each engine throughout the game.
However, you're getting there. Things are looking up! :)

We should remember that I am only guessing what TLCV searches for in Arena debug file.
I cannot mimmick a Winboard debug because WB depends on Polyglot to run UCI engines.

My engine was quite strong till I added knowledge to it.

You could use Polyglot under ChessGUI too, if things work for WB engines, but not for UCI. You could also let ChessGUI fake that the engine is WB in the debug file.

I would also not be against developing a new, open standard for broadcasting games, which allows browser-based viewing, rather than requiring a dedicated client like TLCV, which is very hard to get running. (I have still not been able to connect to Graham's broadcast, despite the fact that I am not a novice TLCV user, and have set it up for ChessWar before.)

TLCV support for UCI engines is rather poor, so ChessGUI is already faking that UCI engines are WB engines in the debug file.

An open standard for broadcasting games is a great idea.

Yessss! Just saw a TB adjudication! :D
Well done Matthias!

The clock problem is still there though. Sometimes you get games where they remain at 0.00.

Now broadcasting Amateur Division 4. :)
