More Isa than ISA but not really important

Thanks for sharing Isa, Daniel.

1st game I tested (Isa facing Mess Mephisto Montreux, ~2250) under 40/10 20/5 time control (moves/minutes), Arena 3.0, Isa decreased its thinking time in a very regular manner from around 30s getting out of book, to 1s (!) on move 40, thus playing several very fast moves; then raised to 30s after getting the extra 5 minutes for the second time control, and started again to speed up very evenly. Time usage seems an area for enhancement ...
Despite this, Isa defeated Montreux 1,5-0,5
On 15s average time level, Isa plays steadily in 15s with less risk for blunders.

My first impressions are very similar. I use WB and a 40/2 TC. When there are about 15 s left Isa starts moving instantly. After it has completed move 40 its time usage reverts to normal.

Also, now I use it together with the /xreuse option because on several occassions it stalled or did not accept the opponent's move claiming it was illegal.

Thank you very much to Eric and Gabord for the tests
Yes I noticed the particularly manner from Isa to use his time lol
And indeed there 's some room of improvements yet 😊
