<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Chenard 2009.09.16 (WB)</span></strong><br />
&quot;Implemented the WinBoard/xboard &quot;memory&quot; command. By default, XChenard uses<br />
about 800K (0.8MB) of hash table memory. However, using this option it can be<br />
increased to any number of megabytes from 1 to 1024. Any value larger than<br />
1024MB (1GB) will cause Chenard to use 1024MB.&quot;<br />
