Subject: opening book question

Author: Landon Rabern

I am going to rewrite my opening book code.  Right now it has all positions
stored in a file and then when the program is run, it loads them all up and puts
them into a hashtable that uses chaining to resolve collisions.  I am not
satisfied with this because it eats a lot of memory for large books.
I would appreciate it if others would tell me what they do.  I think it would be
better to just leave the whole thing on disk and read from it when necessary.  I
guess I could just write the hashtable to disk and still use chaining, but that
seems overly nasty, open addressing might work better.  Thoughts?

Regards,
