Another thing that affects the results is the small hash-tables, 64mb and 48mb for Tiger. The faster programs fills up 64mb in less then a minute, when the "slow" Chessmaster takes much longer to fill up 64mb. This is no criticism but I believe it could affect the results in favor of Chessmaster and Hiarcs (slow-searcher). Bertil
