I assume you've checked out the man page, followed the instructions,
and still aren't having any luck...

It's also worth mentioning that once you create the hashfile your gunchess
becomes a single user program. If multiple people fire up gnuchess and
use the same hashfile it will be only a matter of time before it gets
corrupted. You can override gnuchess usage of the hashfile (see man page)
to avoid this situation but if your hashfiles are NFS mountable or you
have many users on your system this will be tricky to manage.
