I would like to know which elements of the position are commonly included in hash signatures, and the issues with including or excluding certain elements. Currently, I am including the board, the side to move, castling rights, and en passant square. I'm not sure how important it is to hash the en passant square, since ep squares regularly exist, but an ep capture is legal only a small percentage of that time. I'm also not sure how important it is to hash the castling rights, since if the castling rights are different, it's likely that the board is too.
