The penny has finally dropped and I have just realized that you mean the Fritz 5.32 engine and not an old Fritz 5.32 GUI. I got a bit of a shock to see that it only takes about a minute to fill a 128MB hash allocation on my 1.3 mhz AMD. This means that if I play a 40/120 tournament game, between say Fritz and Junior, then my 512 MB total memory is probably not enough to give these engines all the hash tables they can use. As I don't have the patience to use this time control, I won't be rushing out to buy some more memory :) My question is :- Is it fair to equate NPS to hash table size for all engines. For arguments sake, if Fritz is getting 1 million NPS and Tiger 350K NPS, will Tiger only use 35% of the hash tables that Fritz uses or do some engines use significantly more bytes per entry than others? If I can get the answer to this question then perhaps I can set the hash table sizes more efficiently.
