Subject: Add "Slow Mover" UCI parameter to adjust time management
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=40e939421f290c0dc3dc055f4d79ab56b54f15d8

Add "Slow Mover" UCI parameter to adjust time management

With default value of 100 no change in regard of current
behaviour. Increasing the value makes SF to think a
longer time for each move. Decreasing the value makes SF
to move faster.

No functional change.
