I remember that he was talking about evaluating fortress positions when it is
impossible to do progress but he did not use it in practical games because of
the problem that it is impossible to use hash tables in a normal way.

He tried to use scores of previous positions in order to evaluate the leaves but
in this case 2 identical positions in the tree can get different scores.

It means that you can use hash tables only for better ordering of moves and not
for getting the score when you get the same position.
