Hi Paul,

you seem to have missed all the discussions about ChessBase GUIs sometimes
allocating only 1 MB Hash for UCI engines, while native engines use the full
Hash size defined in GUI.

I have told my UCI engine that if a GUI tells it to allocate 1 MB Hash as in
ChessBase style of cheating, then the engine should "laugh out loud"
and use the Hash size defined in engine's ini file.

UCI GUIs that don't stealthily limit Hash size to 1 MB are Arena, ChessPartner
and maybe Shredder Classic.
