If I understand what you mean, you ignore the issue altogether right? you don't
mean you ignore the repetition. In other words, you find a repetition, return
DRAW from search() and also store the previous postion with score=DRAW in the
hash table. Correct? If that is true, this is not the origin of my problem...
