ZH engine

Hey guys, I just played a 2 0 game against zh engine on level 8 and when I reached a decent position the engine left its time to fill out. It was about a 1 min or so when it just stopped moving. I gave engine some more time but still it did not make a move. At the end I finished winning on time. Why did that happen? I thought that the engine maybe looked for a decent move but could not find it in that position, but still it should not let its time slip away just because there are no prefect moves from there. lol

The developers are aware of this. I reported already 3 cases where the engine loses on time.

But I encourage you to post that game so they can have more references to look into.
I am really sorry I played as anonymous that game... Just realized now. If it happenes again I will post.
A similar problem occured when I was playing against sunsetter level 8. On move 28 in the game lichess.org/9DS8csIk/black it took sunsetter about 5-10 minutes to move. However, because the thinking time was unlimited it did not lose on time. In the meantime I was playing a horde game against stockfish and its movetimes were completely normal (<1s).
