If there is a protocol problem or bug - we know the engine/GUI concepts all are different and it's a complicated matter - than these are problems or bugs, not cheating or fraud. Or do you really think CB needs to "cheat" against amateur UCI engines :-)) Be serious, CB engines can kick their asses anytime, even with 1/10th of their hash size... Home come only *some* UCI engines are affected by that problem, and others not? I've just tried the UCI engines Aristarch, Pharaon, Ruffian, SOS and Yace in the Fritz GUI checking the free RAM with a memory tool, and with *all* of them the amount of RAM was allocated which I'd set in the F3 engine dialogue. Note that some of the strongest (non-chessbase) engines are among them. So where may the reason be, when only some engines have this problem (and obviously not the strongest one's :-))? In Fritz, or in these engines rather? But if you intend to ruin your own reputation as a serious member of computerchess community, launching such unfounded accusations like above is a perfect way to achieve that. With that, you can follow in the footsteps of a number of persons with a certain history :-) probably some of them will gather together below of my posting, as always in such cases. Again: Many engines, i.e. the above mentioned, don't have that problem. If anybody would really consider that a major professional chess software publisher intends to make dirty hashize tricks against enginges which are *hundreds of elos weaker*, then I'd say even an average intelligent 12 year old would have a better sense for reality. (Btw. such accusations harm, and have harmed in the past, the reputation of the CCC itself, but I'm already used to it that nobody seems to care for that here...)
