The new chess "Against the Computer" program takes a huge amount of time to make a move.  What's up with that?

I love the new chess program.  Much better than the old one.

Maybe your computer is trying to cheat.

It thinks remarkably long, considering the poor moves it makes at "easy" mode. Surely such "thinking" goes only about 4 ply, and should be done in about 0.05 of a second. This game below which I just played, I now recreated from memory:

It takes 50 seconds for it to make a move even when there's only ONE LEGAL MOVE!... 

It seems like the 50 seconds are just "padding".. And that really needs to be fixed.. Playing a game of chess against an easy AI shouldn't take up 45+ minutes O_o

 

Edit: That being said... The changes that have been made, other than the fake thinking time, are all awesome
