That was exactly the problem many haven't been aware of. To get CM with more
than 1MB hash, one has to create a new personality. So in setup game one chooses
this new personality. In the thinking lines one can follow CMs thinking, but
here is the trouble: there are three checkboxes, white, black and chessmaster.
If white or black is chosen, one can see CMs thinking, also in pb. But if one
checks the Chessmaster box, the ORIGINAL CM8000 engine (with 1MB hash) is
started ADDITIONALLY and therefore reduces the CPU use of the new CM
personality. And that is exactly what happened.
