I have some problems with the curses version of GNU chess 4.0.

1. I don't have gnuchess.hash. Where can I find it?
2. The thing I want to do is that GNU chess will give me the best move
   in a certain position at level 9 or 10. Computer can be black or white.
   To do this, I did following:
   - startup gnuchess
   - type '9' as level
   - type 'edit' as move
   - type '#' to clear the board
   - type in the board position
   - type '.' to return to main
   - type 'help', I saw that computer was black, but I want computer to be
     white
   - so, I typed 'white', which should result in the computer playing
     white, according to the command glossary
   - type 'help' again, I saw that computer still plays 'black'
   - type 'black'
   - type 'help', now I saw computer was playing white
   - question now, how can I start computer playing ;tried to type 'both'
     which did not really help, tried after that (start from the beginning
     again) to edit the board position
     again, so that I can do a move, which will result in my to be
     investigated board position, which did result in that computer starts
     to play white as I wanted it, but the strange thing I see know is that
     time values like 120:00 at black and white sides, which will be count 
     down. Why 120:00 and not 60:00? The move came after 30 minutes. Too fast?
