For me usage of engin is all the time somehow slow process. I used for the first time, just as example, Crafty only when I found it inside of my Hiarcs CD. It could be that even with Chest program, even if it use hash table, brute force search could be very long. Presence of many heavy pieces on the chess board make me think so. Only some selective search is really effective in such a position. I am just looking into implemention of hash table but for now unsuccessfully. Even in theory it look not that bright. I don't speak about mate solver. Problem is that for hash table to be effective it must have inside already some 250 positions saved. It is something very difficult to reach for three consecutive plys, after few initial plys. I still must to find what I am missing there.
