What is pondering in a game playing program?
Answer: D
By assuming the opponent will play the predicted move and searching that position while waiting, a program uses time that would otherwise be idle, and if the prediction is right the search is already complete. It roughly doubles the effective thinking time when the prediction succeeds. Post hoc reconsideration, offline analysis and delay tactics are different activities. Using an idle resource on the most likely continuation is a cheap and substantial improvement.
