my idea was not to waste more time about a move but to waste more time
about accepting moves and less time about rejecting moves.
It is important when the computer evaluate it has adventage because
in this way the computer can see more quickly if its evaluation is
wrong.
If its evaluation is right it is not very important if it miss something
better
because the result may be that it win more slowly

the point is if the "best" move evaluation is correct but there is
something better for example I see that programs do not devote
enough time to Chaos move in the 1974 computers championship
against Chess4.0 Nxe6.
I checked that after the forced line Nxe6 fxe6 Qxe6+ Be7 Re1
my programs evaluate the positon after some minutes as adventage
for white while before Nxe6 the position is evaluated
as advantage for black.
it is clear that if white can tell black not to play some move Nxe6 is
best
so Nxe6 should be checked
