I know that for Hiarcs7.32 the suggestion is hash size as big as possible. I can give hiarcs bigger hash tables then 128 Mbytes but I think that part of the users cannot use even 128 Mbytes so I decided to do a compromise. I do not know the best hash size for Fritz6 light but I know that Fritz can lose on time with big hash tables so I guess that my 8 mbytes hash size is better than the 16 Mbytes of the previous test. I do not say that 8 mbytes are optimal but they are close to be optimal for Fritz6light and I think that the programmer also does not know the optimal hash size(with 8 mbytes it can lose on time in some rare cases but with lower hash size it may have other problems). It is possible to criticize my experiment because of the no opening book but I decided to test in this way after seeing Fritz6 lsoing against tal with the opening 1.e4 a6 because I think that knowing strange opening better can be pracitcal in games when the opponents try to get you out of book. I do not think that Fritz6light is at disadvantage because of these strange openings but we need another experiment from known opening to check it. Uri
