Go up one level in this thread


I think I found the big problem with my program:
I don't store captures in the hashtable, so it is impossible to retrieve a long
PV from it (life can be cruel).
I do that because captures can be a real pain in the neck to store.
A king (dama in the portuguese version of checkers) can make multiple captures
(6-9 max).
A normal move can be something like  '30-16', but how do I store a capture like
'3x17x26x19x32' in the hash table?
Can someone give me an hint?

Thank you
Alvaro Cardoso
