For me, OS cache seems to be more important, when heavily probing TBs than the Nalimov-Cache. Access in the Nalimov-Cache is of course faster, but more space (a major factor) is needed, to cache the same number of positions. So, especially in heavy TB-probing situations, it will be useful, if you have a big ammount of free RAM, that the OS can (and will) use for cache. Another thing - don't install all TBs. If your engines has problems with missing promotion cases, you must be careful to select them. Don't define T41_INCLUDE. Don'T forget to hash TB-positions. You can flag them somehow, so that they will be good for a cutoff at any depth. Regards, Dieter
