If you are like me then you will enjoy being devoured. It is a tablebase program and thei reduces the need for hashing. I own World Championship Checkers and it has tablebases. I run it on an "old" 133 Pentium with no hash tables. It once announced a forced win in 86 moves. No matter what I did the prediction rang true. This silliness about mega-hash tables and enormous computer RAM is not important. What is important is for you to play and enjoy your computer opponent. Bon Appetit, Tim Frohlick PS I also have a 64MB 333Pentium II and rarely use more than 13MB for Hash tables.
