No. I just said (or wanted to say) that in the Nalimov Cache, there are kept chunks of 8 KB (which normally means 8192 positions). Each access to a TB position, that is not found in the cache already, will load 8192 positions from the disk into the cache. Normally there will be many such chunks. With 8 MB Nalimov cache, 1024 such chunks, if I understand it correctly. This has nothing to do with the "caching" done by hash-tables. As Richard explained, you can consider it as a 3 level cache. In hash, in Nalimov Cache and in OS cache. Regards, Dieter
