I've been playing Chessmaster (1 Meg hash) vs Chessmaster (16/32M hash) overnight at game/25 minutes to compare the advantage of using 16/32 meg hash tables vice the default of 1 meg. The CM8K/16M won by 28-24 and the CM8K/32M won by 30-22 for a combined 58-46. The same settings at Game/5 minutes produced a win for the default CM8K of 104.5-95.5. There is a bug in the Chessmaster which causes it to lose on time ocasionally when the game is a draw by repetition. You have to check the "games" after all matches and when you see a "black/white lost on time" message then you need to check the game because it usually is a 3 time draw in which neither side claimed the draw but one side stopped playing and it's clock ran out. I'm also playing a match between Chessmaster vs Rebel Century 3.0 (G/1hour). After 20 games Chessmaster is winning by 13-7. I will stop this match at 24 games and return to Chessmaster vs Chess Tiger 13. Anyone wanting the PGN of the Rebel games just email me. Jim
