I'm not really sure of the highest response time. I think there is a setting
where it searches indefinetley or until you stop it. The level I play at now,
6a-b-c is about all my patience can stand. I get a good game with "reasonable"
response time. Until this move Ne7, which seemed intended to draw me into a
tactical situation where it could gain development time against my queen. Since
I was already ahead in devlopement, I took the opportunity to create a passed
pawn. I suppose the passed pawn "threat" was well out of its horizon.
