Subject: Storing Null Move result in Hash Table

Author: Stuart Cracraft

My old 14% hit rate (hash table matches * 100 / hash table probes)
went up to 34% after adding storing of null move in hash table.
Although total nodes searched dropped 6%, solution rate on WAC
@ 1 second per move on the P3 1ghz dropped from 250 to 248
and average main search depth dropped from 7.01 ply to 6.97 ply
and maximum ply rearched by both main search and quiescence
dropped from 21.31 to 21.16. This is strange since one might
think that having the null move search instantly retrievable
occasionally from the hash table would make the search more efficient.
