Subject: Organizing the Opening Book

Author: William Bryant

Not having a computer science background, I wonder how people organize their
opening book to make move lookup efficient.

I have heard that people index by hash signature.  Do you then clusture all the
subsequent moves together, or are they spread out throught the table?

What means do you use to index into the table?

In general I am looking for a general or specific discussion of how to oraganize
the data of an opening book and accessess it efficiently.

You can guess, this is next on my to do list and I could use some
recommendations, instructions, suggestions, or even a step by step manuel,
	"Opening Books for Dummies".

Thanks in advance,

William
