How much space do they take? I read somewhere that Crafty tablebases use some 20GB... Using them the Fritz way has the advantage of leaving them on CD.

The clearing of hashtables is supposed to be solved in the engine Crafty 16.3 for Fritz, but there are other wonderful bugs, and I already got 3 different versions (bug fixes) of 16.3... The saga continues. :( Enrique
