I suspect that you give too much hashtables for 1 minutes/game.

I think that for 1 minute/game even 1 Mbyte(the default setting) is too much.
I suggest that you change the hash tables of chessmaster before playing these
blitz games because clearing the hash tables takes time.


For people who do not know how to change the hash tables here is my explantion

If you registered as a player with the name aaa you can change the hash tables
by looking in the file c/programfiles/chessmaster6000/users/aaa/aaa
and change the line with ttablesize
If you want 0.25Mb then you should change the value of ttablesize from 20 to 18

I think that 0.25Mbytes are enough for 1 minutes/game becasue I know that 16
Mbytes were enough on p200 for the ssdf games (120/40)
