I do not think that it requires a lot of hash but I believe that bigger hash
tables is always better for Shredder.

I have no idea
I think that you should ask stefan.

I believe that there is a difference but I do not know which program is the
strongest(it may be Deep Fritz,Tiger13,Gambit1,Shredder5,Chessmaster8000 or
another program)

 5. i thought a "beancounter", was less knowledge and

I guess that Shredder bean counter only evaluates the positional part of the
evaluation as smaller but it evaluates it so it need the same time to evaluate.

It is only a guess and I do not know because I never tried to use Shredder bean
counter for analysis.
