      Hi Joachim
      Pro Deo most probably looses informtion when
      hash tables are cleared after each move I think.
      And as far as I can remember, Ed Schröder prefers
      the option [Clear Hash Table = Never]. In my tests
      http://www.utzingerk.com/pro_deo.htm I used the
      option "always" ... but to replay 280 games at
      60m+10s is a time consuming matter.
      Kurt
