When I maxed the hashtable the engine froze and was unable to move. I left it at 16MB for the games below. The CD-ROM really whined and complained though, and at one time the peices would move but a ghost would remain of them so that there were then two of the same peice. Unfortunately I did not save the notation of the previous games so I thought I would adjust my hashtable to 16MB and play all three again: GAME 1 [White CM5000] [Black Junior 5.0] [Time "10/0"] [Result "1-0 time"] 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.e3 Nc6 4.d4 exd4 5.exd4 d5 6.Nf3 Bg4 7.Be2 dxc4 8.0-0 Be7 9.Be3 Be6 10.Qa4 Qd7 11.Rac1 Nd5 12.Bxc4 Bf6 13.Nxd5 Bxd5 14.Bxd5 Qxd5 15.Rc5 Qd7 16.Rfc1 Rd8 17.d5 Ne7 18.Qxa7 c6 19.dxc6 Nxc6 (Junior falls behind) 20.Qb6 0-0 21.Qb3 Bd4 22.Rb5 Bxe3 23.fxe3 Rb8 24.Rd1 Qd7 25.Rdd5 Rfe8 26.Rh5 Qe7 27.Rhc5 Qd7 28.h3 Qe6 29.Qxe6 Rxe6 30.Ng5 Rd6 31.Rb6 h6 32.Ne4 Re6 33.Nc3 g5 34.Nd5 Kg1 35.g3 Re5 36.Rcb5 Na7 37.Ra5 Nc6 38.Rc5 Ne7 39.e4 Rxe4 (Junior evens) 40.Nc3 Re3 41.Kf2 Re6 42.Rxe6 fxe6 43.Rc7 Kf8 44.Rd7 e5 45.Rd6 Kg7 46.Rb6 Nf5 47.Re6 Rd8 48.Rxe5 Kf6 49.Rb5 Nd6 50.Rd5 Rf8 51.Ke2 Ke6 52.Rd4 h5 53.g4 h4 54.Rd3 Nc4 55.Ne4 Ke5 56.Nxg5 Nxb2 57.Rb3 Na4 58.Nf3+ Kf4 59.Nxh4!

I wanted to see if the same would happen again.

GAME 3 In the previous match Junior was mated in a poor endgame. [White GNU Chess] [Black Junior 5.0] [Time "10/0"] [Result "0-1"] 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 Nc6 6.Bg5 e6 7.Bb5 Qb6 8.Be3 Qc7 9.0-0 Be7 10.f3 0-0 11.Rf2 Ne5 12.Bf4 a6 13.Be2 Qb6 14.Nb3 Ng6 15.Bc1 d5 16.exd5 Rd8 17.Nd4 Nxd5 18.Na4 Qa7 19.c4 Nf6 20.Be3 e5 21.Nf5 Rxd1+ 22.Rxd1 b6 23.Bxb6 Qb7 24.Nxe7+ Qxe7 25.Rd8+ Nf8 26.c5 N6d7 27.g3 Nxb6 28.Nxb6 Qxd8 29.Nxa8 Qd4 30.Nb6 Qxc5 31.Nxc8 Qxc8 32.b3 a5 33.Bc4 Qc5 34.Kg2 Qc6 35.Re2 Nd7 36.h4 Kf8 37.Bd3 g6 38.Be4 Qd6 39.Rc2 g5 40.Bc6 Qd3 41.Rf2 Nc5 42.Kh2 Qd6 43.Ba8 Qd4 44.Re2 e4 45.fxe4 fxe4 46.Bc6 Qd1 Rf2+ Ke7 48.Rg2 e3 49.h5 Qxh5+ 50.Kg1 e2 51.Rf2 e1Q+ 52.Rf1 Qxg3+ 53.Bg2 Qhh2++ 0-1 This time Junior mates in 53. GAME 4 Rematch [White Junior 5.0] [Black CM5000] [Time "5/0"] [Result "1-0 time"] CM5000 was clearly losing at the time it ended... when played after time CM5000 lured Junior into a three move repetition which was EXTREMELY weak endgame playing. 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.f4 Bg7 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be3 c6 7.Bd3 Qb6 8.e5 dxe5 9.fxe5 Nd5 10.Nxd5 cxd5 11.b3 Nc6 12.Qd2 Bg4 13.0-0 f6 14.exf6 exf6 15.c4 Nb4 16.Be2 Rfe8 17.Bf4 Nc6 18.Rae1 f5 19.Be3 Qb4 20.Qc1 Rac8 21.Bd2 Qd6 22.Bf4 Qd8 23.Be3 f4 24.Bf2 Qd6 25.a4 dxc4 26.Bxc4+ Kf8 27.Ne5 Bf5 28.Qxf4 Rcd8 29.g4 Nxe5 30.dxe5 Rxe5 31.gxf5 Rxe1 32.Qxd6+ Rxd6 33.Bxe1 Bd4+ 34.Kg2 Kg7 35.Bg3 Rd8 36.fxg6 Kxg6 37.Rf7 b5 38.axb5 Be3 39.Kf3 Bd4 40.Ke4 Bc5 41.Ke5 Bd4+ 42.Ke6 Re8+ 43.Kd7 Rh8 44.h4 h5 45.Bd6 Bf6 46.Bc5 Bxh4 47.Bxa7 Rd8+ 48.Kc7 Re8 49.b6 Bg3+ 50.Kd7 Ra8 51.Kc6 h4 52.Kb7 Rj8 53.Rf1 Kg5 54.Rg1 Kf5 55.Bd3+ Ke6 56.Ra1 TIME 1-0 h3 57.Bc4+ Ke7 58.Bf1 h2 59.Bg2 Be5 60.Re1 Kf6 61.Rf1+ Ke6 62.Bh1 Rh3 63.b4 Rh4 64.b5 Rh8 65.Re1 Kf5 66.Re2 Kf6 67.Rf2+ Ke6 68.Re2 Kf6 69.Ra2 Ke6 70.Re2 1/2 1/2 Three move repetition!
