Fritz relies on large hashtables, it is the way the program is designed. A 16 MB hash table handicaps Fritz, even in blitz. For HIARCS this is not a problem, because it does not fill the hash tables as quickly (I expect, I have not verified this yet). But one thing I have seen is that Fritz really slows down once the hash table fills - this would be a big problem for Fritz at very long time controls. Chuck
