Subject: Best Move in Hash Table Question

Author: William Bryant

Date: 17:00:39 01/18/99


When a position is evaluated with a score that is > than alpha, that position
then replaces alpha, and gets stored in the hash table as an EXACT score.
If this move is the move backed up to PV[ply][ply], is the 'Best Move' that is
stored in the hash record the move at PV[ply][ply + 1]; ie the next move to
take from this position?

If it is, then when getting a hash table hit, with an appropriate draft, is the
best move then used as the move to search next by returning it to the pv
at the position PV[ply][ply + 1]?

This is a rudementary understanding of the best move.  Explinations,
Clarification, and Examples would be apprediated.
