Hi,

  I am new to chess programming and have started
a simple chess program.

  I have some questions (please point me to a FAQ
if these are some of them):

  1. What's the alternative to a hash table to
     eliminate repeated board position? I want my
     program to run on a limit memory device, say,
     only 32k max for a hash table. Is such a small
     hash table meaningful?

  2. When should I return from a quiesce search?
     Sometimes there is a long capture, recapture
     path down the tree. Should I return at certain
     depth?

  3. What's the best sorting algorithm for a move
     list (in a memory limited environment)?

Thanks
horace
