Engine strength

Engine depth parameter specifies how deep should engine calculate positions. Higher the depth - slower the moves and stronger the play. For example, at depth = 5, the chess engine will play very fast, but very weakly and will make mistakes often. And at depth = 20 engine will play very strong, but moves will be much slower (about 1.5 -3 second for move).

Note * When you select strongest strength it will take more time to think. When you play 1 min game recommended strength is 7-11,( 0.1 - 0.4 second for move) for 3 min game strength is 12-16 (0.4 - 0.8 second).
