Realistic time management

[Vaksoa]

Hey! This is another idea I have. Essentially it'd be a togglable option that allows an engine to realistically control the time it has. This could be influenced by a number of factors, including but not limited to:

• Time control (for both you, and opposite player),
• Evaluation (e.g. blunder by the opposite player would cause the bot to act quicker, or when you're losing it'd act slower),
• Phase of the game (e.g. beginning, midgame and endgame)
• Opening moves (of course, this would make the bot play out faster)
• Trades (the bot could make piece trades faster)

Of course, there can be a lot more factors, but it'd be interesting to see how this would behave since it'll allow for a lot more realistic timed games which current bots lack.

Time-management is handled by stockfish internally. It is quite simple to implement.

All you have to do is to pass Whites remaining time, Blacks remaining time, Whites move-increment per move and Blacks move-increment per move as parameters to the get-move function and then stockfish will automatically handle time-management. If you want the bot to play faster or slower, then you can decrease or increase the slow-mover setting, which tells stockfish how fast it should play.
