Thanks you very much, Paul! It is valuable. I tried few positions with Genius 2
and Rebel 10 and usually Genius was more speedy. I expected that this is due to
the use of hash table somewhere in Genius, when in Rebel 10, I tried putting
hash at zero. Now I see that it is the case.

And do you know, maybe, how many legal moves Genius 2 accept? I know (since it
is written inside) that Rebel 10 have its limit of 100 moves.

Salut,
Leonid
