I have tried using a 64-bit hash key and storing it in each hash entry to insure that different positions that point to the same hash table entry can be verified. I also have a 32 byte smallboard that I use for debugging. This smallboard has 4bits for each piece color and type so I know for sure if the current position matches the hash table entry. The 64-bit hashkey works most of the time, but sometimes different board positions produce the same hash-key. Is there a fail-safe method other than my 32 byte smallboard for insuring that different board positions with the same hash keys can be resolved? Larry.
