On a 200mhz machine, I'd expect fritz to search about 200K nodes per second maybe. in a long game (40/2) you average about 4.5 minutes per move (assuming no book) or 6 mins/move if the first 15 moves are book. That means that you need a hash table of 360 * 200000 * 16 (or whatever the size of fritz's hash entry is, I assume 16 bytes). 40mb is nowhere near big enough for fritz, for reasons unknown (ie poor replacement strategy, no replacement strategy, or whatever). second, many programs (Most notably Crafty) depend on 'pondering' because in my case, I assume that pondering works, and expect to save time when it does work right. And I use this time _before_ I save it. If pondering is off, Crafty will get behind on time and not play well. In short, engine vs engine matches on the same computer are nearly worthless to show how the engines would play on different computers... >On June 27, 1999 at 01:42:40, Tania Devora wrote: > >> >> >>Hi guys, I have finsihed my first twenty games between the super strong >>Hiarcs7.32 and Fritz5.32 under tournaments controls, ( 2 hours and a half for 40 >>moves, 1 hour for 20 moves, and all the moves for 30 minutes) . >> >>Fritz5.32 disapointed me totally, look the games, they all have good openings, >>and more than once Fritz lost in winning positions.
