George and Gerald, To the post of Paul below this one, I can maybe add that I believe that the Chessbase interface will still read 1 Mb HT when the "w" parameter is set to a larger number, but this can be ignored if Pro Deo shows the right amount. Check Pro Deo's param.txt to see if the right amount Hashtables is set, this is applicable to all interfaces. I have not heard about Arena showing a false 1 Mb setting. For better results with Pro Deo I do recommend ChessPartner as that gives more ways of checking output and Pro Deo gives more information about the search, used personality etc and it also is the interface Ed uses for testing. I don't have any Chessbase programs yet, so I'm just reporting messages from this forum about Pro Deo under Chessbase. Odd Gunnar Malin, author of wb2uci posted a way of getting correctly reported HT results in Chessbase.

[ENGINE] Name = Pro Deo 1.0 Author = Ed Schroeder Filename = rebeluci.exe [OPTIONS] Program = prodeo.exe HashCommand=w%i rebel.eng HashOnCommandline=true HashFormula=0|3|1;4|11|2;12|23|3;24|39|4;40|59|5;60|99|6;100|199|7;200|399|8;400|0|9 Hash=4 BookOff = BookOff BookOn = BookOn OwnBook = true LevelExtend = none LevelType = 2 SimulateHint = true TerminateHard = true ; To be used in Shredder, Chess Assistant etc. (Not needed in Fritz) ;Priority = BelowNormal Protocol = 1 Logfile = false Visible = Hash,Ponder,Logfile,Extras,OwnBook [EXTRAS] AntiGM = setvar antigm|spin|0|0|3 Playingstyle = setvar playstyle|spin|2|0|4 Strength = setvar playstrength|spin|2|0|2 ; The next line will break when posted to this forum, ; but should be on one long line. Personality = setvar personality personal\%s.eng|combo|Rebel|Absolute Novice Player|Average Club Player|Strong Club Player|Rebel ; Long line ended Note the HashFormula line HashFormula=0|3|1;4|11|2;12|23|3;......;200|399|8;400|0|9 The line is pair of 'if' statement (min|max|result) f.ex. 4|11|2; Say if it get a value from the gui from between 4 and 11 the resulting value are 2 Then this '2' are put on the commandline like this: HashCommand=w%i rebel.eng (The rebel.eng are there to keep the correct order of parameters to the engine, I don't know how critical the order is.) The last value on the line (400|0|9) says that from 400 and up the resultvalue is 9. Odd Gunnar --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
