The players in ICC do not get prizes for their results so the situation is different because they care less about the result.

I do not see the hash tables clear with Crafty under chessbase and I do not care about old programs like hiarcs6. <snipped> I'm not a tester. I'm just enjoying >proclaiming this LOUDLY.
