Subject: A random thought about bitboards

I originally posted this on CTF by mistake. On Tina's suggestion, I've reposted
it here.


I know very little about bit boards, but I had random thought about what you
could do with a cpu that has 128 bit words. Does it make any sense to use 128
bits instead of 64 bits in a bitboard approach that is analogous to 0x88? Would
rotated bitboards still be necessary?

Okay, I know these are random thoughts indeed. So what advantage if any would
128 bits have for bitboards?
