Subject: Help: End Game and Hash Table Search

Author: William Bryant

Shouldn't a mate-in-n score generate a cutoff and shorten the search
significantly.

My new hash table seems to work well, however, in the end game (no table bases
yet), it finds mate-in-n but continues to search thousands and thousands of
nodes.

Does a mate in n score need to be handled differently or is my hash code buggy.

Thanks

William
