Body: <p>I have now installed  <strong>Scid vs. PC</strong> and I have made my first move with White with <strong>1. e4</strong>. Now the engine computes the position tree. How can I stop it and make it move with Black after some fixed time ?
  It has just 6 second per move but it computes indefinitely:</p>

Comments.Text: I am slightly confused because the screenshot shows that you have chosen time per move. But you said you tried "New Game". In my scid vs pc, when I want to play a game, I choose Play --> Computer - UCI Engine, which works, while Game --> New Game just opens a game in edit mode.

  I have now installed **Scid vs. PC** and I have made my first move with White with **1. e4**. Now the engine computes the position tree. How can I stop it and make it move with Black after some fixed time ?
