Possibly, make sure that no other programs occupy the memory when playing online...also configure the hash settings etcChessAddict wrote:Forgot to add do you think something might possibly be slowing down my processors and if so how can i diagnose the problem.

Re: Too many of my games are drawish
I've done some testing on different hash settings. On most hash settings my games are drawn. So far i have found a hash setting that is not drawing games so much. I'm having a better time of winning against equally strong opponents. The strange though i'm not sure how it will play the next day 
. What do you recommend for hash size for 3min-5min games? Does it depend on your opening book? Thanks.

so,hash was the problem...I suggest you stick with the same hash setting that doesn't draw IE the current one that made you win against the equally strong engine,later if the problem persists try different hash settings, try 128 and onwards...it doesnt depend on opening book,don't worry if you got to winning ways...it is most likely working well and there's no strange problem here...and in the next few days there wouldn't be any problem if you figure out the problem around this...just fiddle around with hash values and check whether other programs occupy memory while playing online...-

Re: Too many of my games are drawish
Should i use the hash settings recommended by the chess program or can i pretty much use any size? For example the program suggest 128, 432, 512 and so on... Is it okay if i were to use let's say 135, 459, or 572? Like i said the hash settings i have set so far seems to be doing ok but it's not whats recommended by the program. Is there any instance when we should clear the hashtables? Thanks again!

The program will use a power of 2 so using 135 is the same as 128ChessAddict wrote:Is it okay if i were to use let's say 135, 459, or 572?
On bullet games, too much hash may hurt the engine, and having a lot is not very useful, so you could even go and try out 64MB.ChessAddict wrote:Like i said the hash settings i have set so far seems to be doing ok but it's not whats recommended by the program.
