In the train on our way to Paris, Chrilly Donninger told me that he
uses the old and well-known "trick" of calculating (pseudo-) mobility
during move generation ...
BTW, the Nimzo98 engine seems to be a wonderful animal -- with roughly
1000 instructions per node it is surely in the same ballpark as Fritz
w.r.t. speed (i.e., nodes per second).
My sincere congratulations to the whole Nimzo98 team!
