I wonder if Ruffian did bad results in tests under Fritz
because of that reason.

I suspect that there may be other reasons and I am probably going to test
the next version of movei before I release it to make sure that it shows the
same number of nodes in games with fixed depth and that it shows the same games
with fixed number of nodes(I also plan to do some improvement to do it
stronger).

If someone has more ideas for testing under Fritz gui I will be happy to read.
I do not plan to support the hash command because I understand that the only way
that I can trust all future chessbase programs to understand is by changing some
ini file that has the information about the size of the hash tables.
