Subject: Re: Why using Zobrist keys for Pawn Hashing?

Go up one level in this thread


the white and black pawns are disjunct, obviously there is no one-bit in the
white pawn BitBoard that is also set in the black pawn BitBoard - and each of
the two BitBoards are unique for each pawn position, so the difference is IMO
also unique. The only thing to do is a 64 bit subtraction with masking the 48
relevant bits via shift/and - not a big task and not worth to do it
imcrementally.
