-<P><font color="#008000">Tells the chess engine to use an internal time standard based on its node count, rather then wall-clock time, to make its time decisions. The time in virtual seconds should be obtained by dividing the node count through the given <I>number</I>, like the number was a rate in nodes per second. WinBoard will manage the clocks in accordance with this, relying on the number of nodes reported by the engine in its thinking output. If <I>number</I> equals zero, it can obviously bnot be used to convert nodes to seconds, and the time reported by the engine is used to decrement the WinBoard clock. The engine is supposed to report in CPU time it uses, rather than wall-clock time in this mode. Tis option can provide fairer conditions fo engine-engine matches on heavily loaded machines, or with very fast games (where the wall clock is too inaccurate). Show Thinking must be on for this option to work. Not many engines might support this yet!</font></P>\r
