Subject: Question about Bit storage

Author: Les Fernandez

Date: 14:48:48 01/28/02


Just curious to know what is the best being done now for storing a chess
position.  In the worse case scenario (castling right exists) it takes me 162
bits to store 32 pieces, color, location, side to move, castling, enpassant,
promotion, ce and pv.  Now if castling rights do not exist then the worse case
scenario for the above is 81 bits.  Much further reduction in bits/position is
possible but at the moment I am interested in the above.

Thanks in advance,

Les
