Hi!

Hashing with 64bits is really quite good, even 56bits should be no problem for
chess if the machine is not terribly fast, the game is very long and the hash
table is really big. To be on the safe side I used 128bit keys, that is a really
long number, not enough to store all the possible chess positions but quite
close.

I do not consider this a problem, a much bigger problem is the possibility of
someone cheating or an unstable computer doing a misscalculation.

/Regards Albert
