I have a question about GNU chess 3.21.  I am not a strong player; I
struggle against the computer even at search depth one.  My question is
this:  Does "Easy" (whcih, as I understand it, prevents the computer
from doing any thinking on your time) make any difference it the skill
option you are using is a given search depth?  Since the computer is
going to search to the specified depth, isn't time irrelevant?  Won't it
perform the same level of analysis whether it does it on your time or
not?

Thanks for any help/advice.
