Go up one level in this thread


Hello Will

Hey it was a code comment, I would rather see comments in code littered with bad
grammar and spelling mistakes than have no comments at all. Did you see Diep's
move generator posted here a while back, it was probably very clever but
incomprehensible with zero comments

Incidentally, here is the link to check "irregardless"

The reason I was poking around with my hash code was to implement the 2 level
depth preferred and always store version. I didn't spend long on it but my first
attempt was horribly worse compared to the original, so I thought I would go and
revisit the original version to help debugging the new one.

I guess it is not a clear guaranteed win for a 2 level system, probably depends
on lots of other factors

   Regards Geoff
