Detailed Description

Sophisticated time allocation and management for the chess engine.

Features:

• Time control detection (bullet/blitz/rapid/classical)
• Game phase awareness (opening/middlegame/endgame)
• Evaluation-based thinking (longer in critical positions)
• Increment handling with reserve management
• Instability extension (when best move keeps changing)
• Panic mode for low time situations
