// The GUI issues a "go ponder" command, which includes the Ponder Move as part of the
// starting position for the search; and the command also includes Time Controls to be
// used in the event that a "ponderhit" command is subsequently handled here.
//
// If the Opponent chooses some move other than the Ponder Move, the GUI simply issues
// a "stop" command to cancel the Ponder Search. Then the GUI will start a new search
// from the correct starting position. Note that this will not be a Ponder Search.
