I ran win at chess #141 for 45 seconds. I hashed 99% of the pawn scores. The raw numbers were 4,341,832 probes attempted, 4,327,288 probes successful. IE Crafty only evaluated some 15,000 pawn positions out of 4.3 million calls to evaluate pawns. This number was similar for every position in WAC (plus others) that I tested. note your hash (pawns) has to be large enough to hold everything, otherwise it is not as effective.
