So it is more senseful to let a >program think a little longer so that the chance is higher to see the >opponent's next move. the program can do the same job in the opponent turn. noone force the program to stop computing the move it play it can compute the move for longer time (the normall time it compute) and only after it or after the opponent's answer(what comes first) to begin to compute its answer to the move that was done or was expected.
