Hello Mogens,
How can you determine for sure if the hash tables are cleared after each move?
I may be wrong in my assessment of Crafty because I'm certainly no expert.  Now
that I have thought about it, it is possible that the hash tables are cleared in
Crafty also.  I also must apologize to Hermano for posting info I'm not sure of.
Jim
