I am still using my old 12-bit history index <to><from> to index into these new values. I also still maintain one for white and one for black. I once tried a 17 bit index <piece><to><from> but it offered no improvement to the basic history heuristic, but I have not tested that with this reduction stuff. Any ideas what others are doing here? I can think of several possibilities: <piece><to> <piece><from> <to><from> (I am doing this now) <piece><to><from> to name at least 4. First two seem too simplistic. Last one turns the history tables into pretty good sized arrays (2^17 for white, ditto for black). Note that I am essentially factoring in wtm already since I have two separate sets of history tables for black and white.
