Subject: Hash key size

Author: Russell Reagan

Date: 12:59:38 03/22/03

I am writing an amazons playing program, and I am wondering how I can determine
whether I should use 32-bit or 64-bit hash keys. In chess, research has shown
64-bit keys to be better, but in other games a 32-bit key would be more than
sufficient. How do I determine what is the best key size (not only for amazons,
but for any game)? Is it a trial and error process, or can a good estimate be
made if (say) the approximate state space of the game in question is known?

Thanks,
Russell
