Go up one level in this thread


HashTable->HashEntry[ChessPosition->HashKey].nChecksum = ChessPosition->LockKey;

HashKey and LockKey are basically 2 hash signatures (from different random
numbers). "LockKey" is stored at index "HashKey" to act as sort of checksum,
THUS (therefore) safeguarding against collisions.
