 *                                                                             *
44
 *   TimeCheck() is used to determine when the search should stop.  It uses    *
45
 *   several conditions to make this determination:  (1) The search time has   *
46
 *   exceeded the time per move limit;  (2) The value at the root of the tree  *
47
 *   has not dropped too low.                                                  *
48
 *                                                                             *
49
 *   We use one additional trick here to avoid stopping the search just before *
50
 *   we change to a better move.  We simply do our best to complete the        *
51
 *   iteration which means we have searched every move to this same depth.     *
52
 *                                                                             *
53
 *   This is implemented by having Search() call TimeCheck() passing it a      *
54
 *   value of one (1) for the parameter busy.  TimeCheck() will only end the   *
55
 *   search if we have exceeded the max time limit.  Otherwise, we continue.   *
56
 *   Iterate() calls TimeCheck() passing it a value of "0" for busy, which     *
57
 *   simply says "now, if we have used the target time limit (which can be     *
58
 *   modified by the "difficulty value), we will stop and not try another      *
59
 *   iteration."                                                               *
60
 *                                                                             *
61
 *   The "difficulty" value is used to implement the concept of an "easy move" *
62
 *   or a "hard move".  With an easy move, we want to spend less time since    *
63
 *   the easy move is obvious.  The opposite idea is a hard move, where we     *
64
 *   actually want to spend more time to be sure we don't make a mistake by`   *
65
 *   moving too quickly.                                                       *
66
 *                                                                             *
67
 *   The basic methodology revolves around how many times we change our mind   *
68
 *   on the best move at the root of the tree.                                 *
69
 *                                                                             *
70
 *   The "difficulty" variable is initially set to 100, which represents a     *
71
 *   percentage of the actual target time we should spend on this move.  If    *
72
 *   we end an iteration without having changed our mind at all, difficulty    *
73
 *   is reduced by multiplying by .9, with a lower bound of 60%.               *
74
 *                                                                             *
75
 *   If we change our mind during an iteration, there are two cases.  (1) If   *
76
 *   difficulty is < 100%, we set it back to 100% +20% for each time we        *
77
 *   changed the best move.  (2) if difficulty is already at 100% or higher,   *
78
 *   we multiply difficulty by .80, then add 20% for each root move change.    *
79
 *   For example, suppose we are at difficulty=60%, and we suddenly change our *
80
 *   mind twice this iteration (3 different best moves).                       *
81
 *                                                                             *
82
 *   difficulty = 100 + 3*20 = 160% of the actual target time will be used.    *
83
 *                                                                             *
84
 *   Suppose we change back and forth between two best moves multiple times,   *
85
 *   with difficulty currently at 100%.  The first time:                       *
86
 *                                                                             *
87
 *   difficulty = .80 * 100 + 2*20 = 120%                                      *
88
 *                                                                             *
89
 *   The next iteration:                                                       *
90
 *                                                                             *
91
 *   difficulty = .80 * 120 + 2 * 20 = 96% _ 40% = 136%                        *
92
 *                                                                             *
93
 *   The next iteration:                                                       *
94
 *                                                                             *
95
 *   difficulty = .80 * 136% + 40% = 149%                                      *
96
 *                                                                             *
97
 *   If we stop changing our mind, then difficulty starts on a downward trend. *
98
 *   The basic idea is that if we are locked in on a move, we can make it a    *
99
 *   bit quicker, but if we are changing back and forth, we are going to spend *
100
 *   more time to try to choose the best move.                                 *
