Subject: CB product clears opponent's hash tables between moves.

I'm posting this because I hope everybody knows:

In the "Fritz" or "Junior" interface, by ChessBase, when it is playing a game
against an "engine" (like hiarcs6.eng), it sends a command to the engine to
clear its hash tables before EVERY move.

This could be serious, if the engine is one that retains information in the hash
table between moves.

Even "alt+tab" would be better than this.

I am not arguing about the technical issues involved.
I just think everyone should be aware of this. Don't you agree?
