Subject: Hash replacement scheme

Author: Alvaro Jose Povoa Cardoso

I red some stuff somewhere of a hash replacement scheme that uses the node count
of the subtree bellow the node we are considering.
It came to my mind the following:
At the top of the search we probe the hash table for a position and we would use
this node count to determine if the hash position should be given credit or not.
_But_ at the top of the search we simply don't have a node count of the subtree
bellow this node because we didn't search anything yet.
So my question is: How do we compare the current position (wich has no subtree
node count) with the hash position (wich has a subtree node count)?
Using the 'draft'  instead o f the node count we don't have this problem.

Any comments, please?

Regards,
Alvaro Cardoso
