I know that part of the programs almost always finish their iteration.
They may calculate for more time when they find something interesting.

I know that Junior almost always finish the iteration of moves before playing.
Amir explained that from his experience not doing it is a mistake.

I guess that in this case Bringer tried to refute 17.Bxh6 without success
and it needed more time to finish the iteration because of this reason.
