If you guys recall a while back, I reported my K/ns dropping in games and a team
of us were brain storming what the problem was but nothing ever worked until now
with only one engine shredder 9.  It seems I found out what the problem is.  My
K/ns remains high so long as you play a move that it expects you to play.
However, when you or another engine plays a move that is unexpected, my K/ns
drops because I believe all the resources are absorbed (hash/memory) into the
line it thinks you should have played in its memory.  When and unexpected move
is played most computers will just regroup clear the hash tables and hit high
k/ns and deep plys.  However, mine does not until now! I discovered something in
Shredder 9 engine parameters the little check box that says “ Keep hash tables”
by un checking this box my K/ns remains high the whole game and my plys are very
deep as a 3.02 GHz 1g of ram should behave.


My questions is how can I get my others engines such as rebka to do the same
thing or is this not possible?
