Go up one level in this thread


I just forgot to mention one very important thing...

Hashing is only used for a single perft(8) calculation, for the next problem the
hash is cleared, so collisions can only occur within the same perft(8)
calculation which is crazy unlikly with 128 bit keys (even very unlikely with
64bit keys).

When the database looks for duplications the whole exact position is compared so
no problem there either.
