Many faces does most of what has been mentioned. In addition, rather than stop 
search when it is impossible for another move to be chosen, I stop earlier, 
when it is unlikely for another move to become best. When far ahead, I stop a 
little earlier. That preserves some time in case there is a reversal later, and 
makes customers happier.

 

I don’t stop early when pondering on opponent’s time. Sometimes this means that 
when Many Faces gets to move, it moves instantly, because the criteria for 
early stopping is already met after pondering.

 

It’s more difficult to decide when to take extra time to think, and I don’t 
have a good solution. I just set the target time very generously and depend on 
time saving in other moves to give enough cushion.

Authors of chess program Stockfish gathered massive statistics about 
probability that on reaching certain move number game is still undecided 
(meaning not too larhe score difference). From that data they derived a table 
of multipliers used to adjust time per move calculated by their usual formula. 
Later on, they approximated the table by using some other formula.
