would love to see an option for chess engines to use ramdem time on eatch move

would love to see an option for chess engines to use random time on each move
at the moment chess engines use very little time on there moves that can be off putting to play them.
if chess engines could have use random time .. chess engines would be more human like to play ....
even if they still played the same moves ... almost like a move delay
well if you programmed a uci interface you could introduce a random_delay(min,max). one could assume you'd make that a bot to play for you circumventing cheat detection, also you could add like 3 different engines and make is so it plays the 5th best move of such and such engine, then next move it plays the 4th of a different one, maybe playing the best move if score is below a certain threshold. Just don't cheat
cheating was not on my mind is just that engines play so quick that they use no time so you have no time to think on there moves very off putting
You are supposed to think in your own time. You can also think in your opponent's time if they play slowly. You can not force anyone (even engines) to play slow. (even though they play quite slow in pychess, i recommend that gui if you want to make engine vs engine games.)
