<p><strong><span style="color:#090;">Update: Gray Matter 1552</span></strong><br />
- some cosmetics, removed some labels, reenabled the pawn_hash which seems safe enough and improves some speed<br />
- wierd stuff going on, reverting back to 1547.. sorry<br />
- reenabled some hash stuff, still bugs need to be worked out. engine is a bit weaker, but is more stable and less erratic<br />
- I reneabled the hash table. Everything seems to work except it can't avoid draws. the engine is too weak without it<br />
new Win32 and x64 builds for version 1551<br />
