Slow down the game (2.61 KB, patch)

The computer makes its move so fast that it makes me feel stupid and under pressure. Please add a couple of seconds delay before the computer makes its move.

The speed with which the computer makes its move could be made to be dependent on the difficulty level - the more difficult, the quicker the computer plays. This would both match the human player's confidence, and make the computer seem cleverer.

Slow down the game

Give the player a breather after each move, so he has a chance to think.

Does that feel about right?  I've increased the delay between your move and when the AI begins thinking to for 4s easy, 3s for medium, and 2s for hard.  Hard often takes much longer, though, depending on how many possible moves there are (it thinks at least 4x longer than medium on any given move), so these values could possibly be set better.
