Is there not theoretically an optimum amount of hash for engines dependent upon
the time control used.
For example it would be disadvantageous to use too much hash at blitz time
controls whereas it would be disadvantageous to use too little at long time
controls?
That's my understanding, but some tell me that it's a contentious issue.
Hope I'm not opening a can of worms here!
