I COULD do this thing to Nero 4. But perhaps in a different way than you
suggest: Nero uses now iterative deepening and calculates values to all
the legal moves. After it has used the given time, it goes to a loop in
which it chooses the one with best score. And I could add some small
random number to the scores in this loop, AFTER evaluating moves, so without
random confusing anything in search.
User could e.g. give some "rate of randomness" value to be used:
(0= just pick the best one, 1= some randomness, 10 = totally random moves....)
 Or something...  Nice Idea!
