Hi,
Can someone tell me if an engine supports the UCI protocol, does this imply that it also supports time controls such as 40/40+20/20+rest/10?
Thanks in advance.

A UCI engine is stateless, so it won't care about it. It will get the number of moves and time remaining before every move from the GUI.
I don't remember the exact details of UCI2, but I thought the GUI could send the complete time control to the engine as additional information for time management.
Richard.
