There was a typo here: The concept means that

small hash tables

-> hash collision

-> Fritz doesn't follow a line it normally would extend due to certain
criteria
(because it gets wrong scores at some point from the hash table)

-> it "stumbles" upon the right move earlier because it had taken that
"irregular" shortcut before ...
