My other problem is with implementation of 'byo-yomi time' . I am not
familiar with this time
control before. From my understanding there is an initial main time set
where an engine can
make as many moves at it wants. So does that mean if I make moves
faster at that stage I get
extra time or not ?
I don't understand the question. When you have used all the main time,
the byo-yomi starts.
What I implemented currently is just make
(boardisze / 4) i.e half you your total
moves in that time control and the remaining in byo-yomi mode. Doe that
sound reasonable ?
Whether that is reasonable depends on the amount of main time, and the
number and length of the byo-yomi periods. If you have an hour of main
time and five 5-second byo-yomi periods, you will want to make almost
all your moves in the main time. If you have a minute of main time and
thirty one-minute byo-yomi periods, you will want to make just a few
moves in the main time. In any case, you don't know how many moves
there are going to be - I have seen a sensible game of 19x19 Go take
less than 100 moves, and another take more than 400 moves.

thanks in advance
