Crafty source help

Postby Guest » 03 Apr 2005, 23:19

What I want to do is cause Crafty to pause for a second or two before it moves. That way it is more fair during lightning games. I know that this is a simple question but I am not much of a programmer. If somebody could tell me what code to put where it would be much appreciated.


Thank you in advance

PS I am using Crafty v19.19

You can get a modified version that Mike Byrnes created Crafty 19.17SE from here http://www.crafty-chess.com/down/Byrne/ . Mike added a delay function (dm), but that function also turns off pondering. When you start messing with the timing of a chess engine it throws off a lot of things and it is more than just a simple add this snippet of code here....

Thank you for that, but I would like to leave ponder on. What I'm thinking is adding a piece of code right before it outputs its move. I just don't know where to add it. I also am not sure what to add because I know very little C.
