Don't worry, I have. Now he wants to have a little contest where I write an
array based move generator for his game, and compare it with his. He claims to
be able to generate 140 million moves per second on unknown hardware. I suspect
he isn't actually converting the attack bitboards into moves, and thinking that
the attack board comprises a "move list" (which it could, but you're only
pushing the extra work outside of the "move generator"). Or he's doing something
else which allows him to juice up his numbers.
