I think, that if I need information about attacking directions, I can do a few bitoperations on the attackboards and get only what I need and no more. Ideally we would like to know it all and search infinitely deep etc. but we can't. The challenge is to make the best compromises, and generating a lot of information that you are not even sure how to use, doesn't sound like a good compromise IMO. Eg. do you really need to know all the attack directions on every pawn or bishop, really? Honestly I believe 95% of that information will be wasted. I think the fun is in generating the information you need and nothing more. Ideally I would like to generate one move at the time and try that before generating the next. However that would make for a bad moveordering, so I should make a compromise and generate *some* moves, sort them and if they don't cutoff then generate some more and so on. This is how people are doing it, generating and sorting all the moves are just waste of time. -S.
