Bob's So you just keep bitmaps containing the locations of the pieces, i.e., one for white knights, one for black bishops, etc.? Once you have the bitmap for black bishops, how do you convert that to a list of moves? >PS My hardware is pretty fast.

That's okay, thanks. My code should fit nicely into L1 cache, so I'm assuming a linear speedup. But that still makes your program about 20% faster than mine. -Tom
