I don't remember measuring a large gain. The thing is, in alpha-beta programs you often use the transposition table for move ordering, particularly with iterative deepening, and move ordering improvements bring much more than the gain from pure transposition cutoffs. I suspect in most go programs storing the move ordering info in the transposition table isn't as useful, if nothing else because you don't use iterative deepening. -- GCP _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
