What's in the modified version (Stockfish-101016-12y)?
As in previous modified versions, it includes fast play when mate is found ( faster play than standard Stockfish) and uci limit strength by elo from the menu.
There is a new parameter called Throttle - settings are 0 to 20 - with zero being full strength and 20 is maximum throttle - if you set it to 20 and set the time control to 6 sec with 0.1 inc , SF will only see a few hundred nodes per move , this weakens SF obviously, but differently than the limit strength by elo. Limit strength by Elo has a random factor where SF will deliberately play sub optimal moves, as compared to using throttle, SF will play the best move it sees- but because the search will be shorter and it may not see beyond a very short horizon - on my machine this tested out about 1650 ELO, not really a push over for an average club player - but it will still make the occasional killer move - very much fun to play against.
In summary , at the setting of 6 sec base with 0.1 sec increment with the Throttle setting at 20, it's similar to playing Stockfish on the earliest of PC's , perhaps a 286 or 386 - maybe even slower. As previously mentioned, it often will only see few hundred nodes per move at that setting. And of course, you could use both the Throttle and UCI Limit Strength by Elo setting to really dumb down Stockfish that a child could play against it.
The evaluation is also tweaked , and, in my modest opinion, it may play slightly better than standard SF at longer time controls, not enough testing to confirm yet... [/color][/font][/b]

Time Control is 2 Minutes Base with Two Second Increment - Updates will average about Every 3 minutes ( Updates upon every 6 Games Completed) It will run for a few days as I will be tied up working on the quarterly results...
