On reading posts re: optimum hash table sizes for various
programs and time settings for them, I could'nt help wonder
why these programs don't auto adjust their own hash size for
the situation they find themselves in as the game progresses.
For example, during the opening phase hash is not needed,so
the program could only activate the hash when the book runs out.
As the endgame approaches and transpositions become more likely
then bigger hash would presumably be an advantage, the hash size
could adjust itself upwards.
This must have been all thought of by clever programmers before
and rejected for some reason. Perhaps it's just not possible to
do it or the benefit would be negligible?
Just a thought, guys.
