What are the common techniques one could use to deal with collisions in a transposition table?

Consider an iterative deepening search using a transposition table. Whenever the transposition table is full, what are common strategies applied to replace entries in the table? I'm aware of two ...

Why do iterative deepening search start from the root each iteration in the context of the minmax-algorithm?

Consider the graph below for an understanding on how IDS work. Now my question is: why do IDS start at the root every iteration, why not start at the previously searched depth in the context of minmax?...

Does iterative deepening depth-first search expand at most twice as many nodes as breadth-first search?

My understanding is that iterative deepening search is roughly equivalent to breadth-first search, except instead of keeping all visited nodes in memory, we regenerate nodes as needed, trading off ...

What is the space complexity of iterative deepening search?

When using iterative deepening, is the space complexity, $O(d)$, where $b$ is the branching factor and $d$ the length of the optimal path (assuming that there is indeed one)?

Beating iterative alpha beta search in Isolation Game

I'm having trouble beating an AI in Isolation game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isolation_(board_game) with 3 queens on a 7x7 board. I tried applying alpha beta iteration with a scoring function on ...
