Right now my patzer engine is killing Kiwi but I can tell that if it would only
use some time it would probably beat mine handsomely. What time controls does it
understand and does it use the WinBoard time command? I fired it up in Arena and
it didn't take any time for any moves - consequently it only ever searched five
plies and quickly lost a couple of pawns then pieces before resigning due to
Mate in 5. Actually I don't know if it was mate because the PV doesn't show that
- it probably was just too far down in material.
