And since I'm being such a pest, I can't be hurting my
reputation any more to ask if it wouldn't be too much
trouble to add some "timer reading" which tells the player
exactly how long the program took to calculate a move (at
whatever depth). I think coding it would be as simple as
logging the time at the begin of the turn and subtracting
that from the time at the end of the move, and then
displaying the difference.

I ask, because I think it would make it easier to get some
sense of which depth setting the program begins to bog the
game down (past the 'point of playability' for that user).


Feel free to savage me as to why this would be a stupid or
awful idea.
