Not everything that is easy for you is easy for everyone and something that
takes you 25 minutes can take another person 100 hours.

I did not try to implement pawn hash tables because I evaluated that it
can give me only 10% speed improvement but if you claim that it very easy then I
may think about it again.

What do you hash in the pawn hashtables?

Do you hash only scores or also information about pawns?
(today I use only the pawn structure to evaluate pawns but I will probably
change it in the future).
