Subject: Re: How much hash for Blitz?

Go up one level in this thread


So am I to understand that the time control being played has nothing to do with
the correct hash size? If time control is a factor (which I have always assumed
it to be) then isnt a too-large hash crippling because it forces the program to
search for a needle in a haystack when it could actually recalculate the
position faster than it can find it in a mostly-empty hash? I have been running
a 16 to 32 MB Hash on my dual 3,06 Xeon in 3+2 Blitz and 8MB in 1+0 Bullet.
128MB in 15+3, 256  in 30+5, 512 in 60min and so forth. These are close to what
the chessbase t-notes recommend. They say that too small is better than too
large and that if in doubt its best to err on the small side. Opinions on these
hash settings anyone?
