What solution? Of course you test for speed this way. In Blitz games you need minimum Hash & 1 Mg is fine. Every time a move is made on the board Hash is cleared. If you have large Hash it takes more time for the engine to find the position on the board & begin calculation. That's how games are lost. In Longer Tournament games Large hash is better. > >Uri
