There aren't any specific "easy mode" switches in version 5.

You can change the amount of time per move, and a few other
parameters of the search. Changing the search parameters just
tend to encourage daft play and I don't think we want that.

Being open source you can also fiddle with the source to create
different playing styles, this is a good way of making it easier
to beat if your not careful.

Is it too easy, too hard? 5.02 is stronger than version 4.
