The Nunn-test is wonderful, but 23MB hash is not enough if you use 67 seconds or
more per move and 200MMX. Fritz5 fills the hash very quickly and if it is full
then the rest of the thinking time will be used very inefficiently.  Therefore,
your results of the Nunn-test could be inadequate.

Please see the hash formula on page 46 in the Fritz5 User Guide.

For best results, you are advised to check with Level|System Configuration to
ensure correct amount of hash size for your chosen amount of time allocated per
move for your 200MMX computer.  Otherwise, you need to modify or increase the
hash size and then check with Fritzmark to ensure reliable testing.

Good luck.
