I struggle to prevent my opponent to draw by repetition when I’m using best move stored in entry in transposition table. At the beginning of AB function, I check the table, find a nice fat score and make the best move stored. My opponent makes his move and it's a draw by repetition. So, I added a code to check all opponent’s possible responses to my stored best move to see if they are not draw. In that case, I don't use the best move from hash table but force the full search to pick some other move that will not allow the opponent to draw. But there are cases where I still cannot prevent the draw because it is already too late and no matter what I do, my opponent’s next move is a draw. What's the best way how to deal with this situation? Thanks
