In Tinker, extra time is only allocated when the score drops to a couple of
"trouble" levels.  When in trouble, Tinker will include 1/3rd of any time
advantage it has (in addition to the extra time normally allocated).

Generally, Tinker's time management tries not to use a little more or less time
each move, but to use larger blocks of extra time when needed, assuming it takes
3-6x as long to search at least a full ply deeper.
