Subject: Size of PawnHashTable

Author: Martin Bauer

Date: 12:55:29 11/07/02


Hello,

i have implemented PawnHashTables in my engine. Is there any rule for the size
of the table? I think about rules like:

 - 50% usage when calculating to depth 10

or something like that.

Any ideas?

My second problem:

How important is it to be exact? My pawn evaluation depends not only on the
strukture of the pawns, but also on development, position of rooks in a samll
amount. At the moment I dont take care of that, my hashkeys depend only on the
position of pawns. Is it acceptable not to be absolutely exact? Are the top
engines doing such simplifications?

Regards

Martin
