Hi Graham,
or somebody else: do you have tipps for init the engine?
e.g. how to set hash?

For v4.7 hash could be set on the command line:

"Thinker hashsize=6"

I don't remember what size 6 gives but I once used 8, if I remember correctly.

hashsize=8 uses about 120 Mb of RAM....

Hi,
thanks for fast answer - we usually take 256 MB - so 9 is ok for me.

Yup, I have started re-writing the UI. I'm unifying the desktop and pocket PC versions of the UI (I no longer like to keep track of two different code base). Both then should get new features (like, editing of games).

And, nope, there are no plans of going commercial.

My intention has always been to release stronger versions each time. Its just that it is getting more and more difficult to make great leaps.

I think 5.x series is an improvement over 4.x. I just wish that the difference is much greater. But its not that bad. If you look at WBEC, its still in the 1st division.

Sadly, I don't have a PPC 2002 device to test with. I only have a PPC 2003SE.

My apologies...
