Will the patch update this setting or >will it really take 21MB? I think the snip I've shown represents old >Chessmaster hash style rather than the simple 2 == 2MB style you talk about in >your post. Regards, Brian K. The "ttable_size" setting is obsolete in CM8000. The "book" setting SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED! If it IS changed, then I would suspect that many of the analysis/advice features would fail. I'm not sure why they are even in the CM.INI and USER.INI files, but there they are! Either way, these settings should not be changed in CM8000, as changing the first one would have no effect, and changing the second one could do very bad things. The ONLY way you will be able to change ANY hash table size will be via the new [mentor] group setting, and it will ONLY change the size of the mentor engine's hash table. The table sizes of the personalities must be modified via the personality editor. jm
