Go up one level in this thread


	if( alpha <= initialAlpha )	// actually can not be smaller
	{
		flags = CHashTableRec::flagScoreIsFailLow;
		score = initialAlpha;

Why don't you store alpha here (instead of initialAlpha) which will in generally
be an even stronger bound ?

	}
	else if( alpha >= initialBeta )	// normally can not be greater
	{
		flags = CHashTableRec::flagScoreIsFailHigh;
		score = initialBeta;
	}

Why don't you store alpha here (instead of initialBeta)  ?

I think that storing stronger bounds could help to make your hash algo more
efficient.
