Subject: Pawn Hash Question

Author: Dan Honeycutt

I presently include the king in my pawn hash but i question if i'm getting my
money's worth.  all I do are (1) look at shelter the abc or fgh pawns provide
the castled king and (2) see if king supports passed pawns.  without the king
the pawn hash hit rate is 98 to 99 percent.  with the king it drops to about 93
percent.  my gut feel is I should either do more with the king or remove him
altogether.

What are others doing?  Is hashing the king worthwhile?

Thanks
Dan H
