Raffaela time control

As said in another message, now Raffaela implement a time control, so you don't have to set the level, if you use it from WinBoard. I should give a little note... in a few minutes befoire to go at work
If you use Raffaela as a Standalone program, without WinBoard, you can set time giving directly a WinBoard-style command. You can put them in the second textbox in the tab "Invio comandi". Type in:
level 0 5 0
and press "Mossa o comando per Raffaela" (move or command to Raffaela).
If you use Raffaela from WinBoard, just use WinBoard menu, to set time control.
A note for the algorithm implemented: it seems to works well only for long time games. Maybe in 5 minutes games it is easy for Raffaela to loose on time. It would be nice if someone could give me the results of its games, maybe specifying the time control and the time left to the opponent, where Raffaela loose on time. I hope to fine-tune the algorithm as soon as possible... but i think that this could be done only the next week-end.
Thanks.
Ciao!!!

I have corrected some bug in time control. You'll find Raffaela 0.0.1 on:

Now Raffaela should not loose on time, expecially in short time game. She take care of the opponent's time, to compute the ply depth.
Enjoy it )))

Thanks for the game. Now i can work on the position evaluation, to make Raffaela stronger.
