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? Charles
