TimeControl behavior ?!

Hi,

I wonder a little about the TimeControl in gnuchess. When entering
the game, I say #moves #minute 1 10. That sould mean that one move
is generated within 10 minutes. Now doing a few moves the clock
increases ... after some moves 'bd' shows me '74:41' for example.
Why is this so ... is it correct ? - I saw that in search.c a
value TCadd is added to TimeControl.clock to calculate the rest-
time, but my resrtime should be 10 minutes for each new move ...
nothing to calculate so far :-)
I believe I missed something but what ? - Please excuse if this
is a faq but I never saw an answer for this (strange) behavior.

 Regards, Pat !
