hello, in previous posting i said something about my doubt of the number of legal positions being a practical number. I did a big 'collission detection test'. DIEP checks hashtable everywhere, using 8 probes. That's a lot. I created a second table which verified the position. Note that diep stores positions with 64 bits in hashtable (i'm using something like 20 bytes a position or so, incredible much but i store evaluation in 21 bits or so too besides a 21 bits normal score). And for cache lines it doesn't matter. 8 or 20 or 32 bytes. All the same. anyway. i didn't have a single collision when searchin openings position with 1M entries for 500M nodes.
