By default, if gnuchess.hash is present, gnuchess will always use it
(there's no need to specify any special option).  At the present moment,
there are bugs in the routines that handle the gnuchess.hash.  This has
been fixed for the next release.  In the meantime, I suggest you forget
about using the gnuchess.hash file.
