You might want to uncheck 'Tournament Book' if you want to see some of the more
uncommon first moves. I would probably minimize book learning but that`s up to
you. I think Powerbook is power from quantity not quality. While it would offer
more variety I believe it contains some pretty bad lines. You might consider as
low as 2 for minimum games.

Your hashing size sounds fine to me.

Good Luck,
BK
