You are, of course, correct. The request was a minimum, but the team has no
control over this.

I have noticed that the two other games going on have the engines with settings
of 96 and 128MB, so I would suspect that either a 64 or 128MB hash table will be
selected by the operators of the game (who are in no way affiliated with the
developers).
