will think during its moves. The first two levels (1 and 2) are beginner levels and search a fixed 1 and 2 ply (one-half move). Levels 3 through 15 take 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 60 seconds per move.

Level 16 is an infinite level. Checkers will take as long to move as you want it to, or until it can no longer search. Level 16 is good for problem solving, or it can be used to play against.
