Subject: A question of time

Author: guy haworth

Would welcome sources of information on how chess-engines budget their time.

Are the heuristics out there more 'conservative' than human players?  What
criteria are used for departing from some norm-budget/move, assuming there is
one?

Do chess engines modify their:

  a)  opening books,
  b)  search and/or evaluation methods

according to the time regime for the game?

Are chess-engines able to handle the increasing variety of time-regimes being
defined now?  What time-regimes are there and is there an established notation
for defining them?

Thanks in advance for contributions.
