Subject: Revert opponent time advantage logic
X-Git-Url: https://git.sesse.net/?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff_plain;h=d95b9189d850da83066a9bf3b2a1caffabb8073a

Revert opponent time advantage logic

Strength increase was due to an hidden bug introduced
by the patch, namely the time per move to /30 instead
of /40 (see previous patch).

After testing this feature do not add any substantial
increase so is removed.
