What is the proper method for setting Hash Tables in Chessbase programs. I have read that for Fritz 5 the proper Hash Table setting is as follows: 2 x (your processor speed) x (avg. seconds per move) of course in Fritz 5 you could set the exact number such as (16,384)bytes Of course, the available RAM you have is limits the your proper maximum setting, as severe hard drive activity will take place if your computer does not have enough RAM if your Hash Table setting is too high. Since Fritz 6 and Fritz 7 is set in MB you would just divide this formula by 1000. I have also been told, based on an actual game of approx. 50 moves, that you should subtract the first 10 or 15 moves, since the opening moves are played instantly, and shouldn't be a factor divided into the time control. A five minute game (300 seconds) Supposedly you would divide 35-40 moves,instead of 50 into 300 seconds and get a figure, multiply that by 2x(processor speed) and divide by 1000. Of course average time per move settings give you the exact seconds per move. Is 2x(processor speed)x average seconds per move /1000 still the accepted Hash Table setting method? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
