What on earth is 'TT-size = 16'? That means it used a hash-table of 65 KB, does not seem very appropriate with 16 threads sharing the hash-table.

That version of the engine does not know 'Bucket-size', it should be 'Bucket-shift = 2', it clearly was in the ini-file when I sent you this engine almost a year ago.

Sorry, I have to repeat the entire match from the beginning. As for the Bucket-size option, I think you gave me that and not Bucket-shift as you wrote - I have to check it because I have everything on the hard drive.
