Good morning,
Leo noticed some games lost on time by my program (thanks Leo).
I suppose this is because "level 40 5 0" means, according to me, that when the time left is 0, if 40 moves were played, then 5 more minutes are given.
But maybe the 5 minutes can not be repeated ? is it possible ?

You get an extra 5 minutes after every 40 moves with 40 moves in 5 mins.

You get 5mins more after moves 40, 80, 120, 160, ... 3960, 4000, ... .
