But how efficient will it be? Consider how effective the normal hash is. The
pawn hash will be even more so because there are fever unique pawn positions.
Hashing in real applicatins are full of non obvious results. And the different
pawn positions taper off much more quickly than full positions. Another
distinction is that most normal hash hits are on the same ply (something in the
order of 99%) while pawn hash hits are more evenly distributed at different
depths of search. So a pawn hash is bound to be 'very' effeftive ir real
performance.
