Suppose the programmer were to deliberately load the hash table with false data and then start the engine analyzing a given position. Could the false information in the hash table cause the engine to produce the wrong move? Corollary: Suppose the engine were given 24 hours [or more] to find the correct move, after the programmer had loaded bogus information into the hash table. Could it happen that the engine might NEVER find the correct move as a direct result of incorrect information having been loaded into the hash table? I would very much appreciate an answer to this. I am experimenting with different ways to use the engines in analysis and would like to know whether or not I am doing anything right. It would really help to understand the details of how modern engines use the hash tables. [Maybe different ways for different engines?] Thanks in advance, Bob Durrett
