Andrew: You cost me a lot of work. After your post re Fine#70 I carefully reread all my code, single stepped everything and still couldn't find the problem. So I scrapped my entire hash code and rewrote it using a two part table modelled after Pepito. The other thing I did that Pepito does: in debug mode every store does a probe to make sure that what just went in to the hash table is what comes out. That brought several bugs to light right away. Took a little longer to discover that storing a negative depth caused a blowup. Bruja now finds Kb1! with better than +2 score in about 130k nodes. I've just started testing but results look good - new hash leads old hash 14-9. Thanks for your post and I hope you have had success with Trueno. Dan H.
