Subject: levers and pawnhash hit-rate

Hi,

i use the difference of weighted pawnbitboards ( 5*whitepawnBB - 3*blackpawnBB )
mod 65077 as an index for a 64K entry pawnhash-table. Most often my pawnhash
hit-rate is quite ok, > 95% or even 99%. But it seems that a lot of pawn levers
decrease my hit-rate due to collisions.

With "maximum lever" positions my pawnhash hit-rate is only about 75% after a 30
second search on my amd64 2.2GHz box (~80% without eval hashing).

I guess a zobrist-key pawn-hashing scheme is better here.
Curious about your pawnhash hit-rates with one of the positions below.

Btw. how many levers has each position, 8 or 14?

Thanks,
Gerd
