Sorry to say Chess System Tal kept hanging (thinking but not playing a move, sometimes). Rebooted and continued several times but it all got too impossible. I'll try and make sure all is functional for February. Apologies to the other players and the organisers.

That’s exactly why we told you time controls are broken. But as usual you preferred to ignore critics

That's an unnecessary remark, a not yet tiny discovered bug in the game-in x part of the time control doesn't mean the whole time controls (you spoke in plural) is broken. The analysis, infinite, depth and x-moves-y levels are functioning flawlessly and secondly the way we see how GUI's should treat engines has also nothing to do with a tiny bug.

Just wait for the fix and we will have a Hollywood ending.

Of course we don’t ignore the constructive critics who were actually very helpful in tracking down the increment bug, this is thanks to Matheis and the CEGT testers. CCRL testers have also constructively pointed us in the right direction. Destructive critics who have never seen the engine and just wish to make personal attack points, we ignore.

Incidentally, nobody has seen the timing control code in the tournament version of Chess System Tal, not even Ed, since I only wrote it two days up to yesterday, it’s brand new code.
