It is a well known fact that bitboards are slow at move generation using 32 bit
architecture hardware. Some results on my K6 400 MHz

Crafty 17.14     |  Pepito          | A 0x88 thing I'm messing with (ANSI C)
                 |                  |
ply 5:    8.02   |  ply 5:    6.91  | ply 5:  4.17
ply 6:  196.96   |  ply 6:  161.00  | ply 6: 90.50
