Subject: Hash Tables

I am writing my first chess program from scratch.  At this point the
evaluation of a position is based purely on strength.  The program does
a breadth first search of moves with a limit on the number of moves to
search.  I am still focused more on the organization of classes than on
the algorithms and speed.  I give this back ground so that you will take
my level of experience into account when answering my question.

There are many references to hash tables in the posts here.  I am well
acquainted with the use of hash tables, but have not been able to infer
their application to a chess program from the message contexts.  I seem
to be missing something which is obvious to everyone else.  Could
someone take the time to give me a brief overview?

Thanks
