Subject: Help on hash tables.

Hello to everybody,
could someone tell me where I can find something (books or internet resources)
about the use of hash tables in chess programming? And about good and suitable
hash functions? I have implemented a transposition table in my (still minimal)
chess program, but I did it in a quite elementary way  and I think I am going
to change lots of things (for efficiency reasons and because if I want to
implement algorithms such as MTD(f) I have to). I think I don't have still
understood *what* you have better put in your hash table, and *when* you have to
delete/refresh it.
Ok, I can look what was done in programs like Crafty, but if you could tell me
something more...
Tanks in advance,
Marco Grella
