I have only one history table.
Is it important to have seperate history table for each color?

Usually when from->to is often legal for white it is not often legal for black.

I may also get rid of the history table in the future and I guess that there are
better alternatives for order of moves.

I read that some programmers (like Tony Worten) found that getting rid of
history tables made their program stronger so I guess that they have other rules
to decide about order of moves that are simply better.

I have only one 64*64 array like tscp.
