Hello again,
I ran another  100 games last night with Fritz hash tables set to 16 Meg.  I
kept Hiarcs at 64 Meg for consistency.  The score did drop off but will probably
have to run a couple hundred more to find out if it's due to hash memory or just
normal variation.  The latest score has Hiarcs winning by
58.5 to 41.5.  This still leaves Hiarcs in charge.  It's possible also that 64
Meg is too much memory for Hiarcs at Blitz but it's certainly much better than
4 Meg.  I never thought I would see Fritz get beat at blitz like this. :-)
