History & Background
I am using a Hashtable to memoize my boards, by mapping them to an Integer object of their score. I do this by calling getAlphaBetaScore(...) instead of AlphaBeta(...). This function:- gets the Object the Hashtable returns.
- If this object is null, it returns AlphaBeta(...) while storing this data into the Hashtable.
- If the Object wasn't null, it just returns the intValue.
The Problem
My problem pops up when i use iterative deepening. The first run, with a depth of 1, every single move would be mapped the the evaluation functions score. Obviously this is a problem, when I want to go deeper into the game tree.
The Question
Any ideas how to deal with this?
The Thanks
Thank you
