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 [D]8/k7/8/pppppppp/PPPPPPPP/8/8/K7 w - - [D]8/1k6/8/pppppppp/PPPPPPPP/8/8/1K6 w - - [D]8/2k5/8/pppppppp/PPPPPPPP/8/8/2K5 w - - [D]8/3k4/8/pppppppp/PPPPPPPP/8/8/3K4 w - -
