Hi Uri,

the deep versions matches are still a test. We do not have so many and they will
also be tested against single versions therefore. Probably and depending on
votes of testers there might be a separate list for this deep versions.

Our thought is that in the near future a lot will have dual machines and more
and more engines will come with deep versions, so why not start to test them.

Hash indeed is a prob. While Deep Fritz is doing well with more hash, Deep
Junior 9.0.0.3 obviously has probs here. We are just discussing this problems
and what to do.

Best Regards
Heinz
