Just tested the Crafty 16.3 engine under Fritz.
If u play yourself against this Crafty, the hashtable will 'not'
cleared. I think, this problem appears only in engine-engine games.
But with the TB i think u are right.

For me there is also the problem, that the Fritz-Crafty-engine uses
only books, which are built under Fritz.
But Crafty should use it's own statistically built books.
