Subject: Use returned depth in hash table
X-Git-Url: http://winboard.nl/cgi-bin?p=hachu.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=8f4285640c000dccb97fe0cb325b1ee5ea69a0c2

Use returned depth in hash table

The depth returned by the search is now also hashed. This gives an
enormous speedup of tsume searches, as mates are assigned 'infinite' depth,
and thus forced distant mates also, so that they remain valid in
subsequent iterations without re-search. For safety the depth assigned to
repetitions was limited to the current iteration.
