The latest info about Ruffian states: "Mobility is based on precalculated tables that can recognize special patterns; this is one of the major evaluation terms" This is interesting. How can you precalculate mobility? Maybe using rotated bitboards - but from the interview with Per-Ola he states that the structure in Ruffian is: "Today I use a hybrid between bitboard and 8x8" Clearly Per-Ola considers this one of the strengths of Ruffian. Does anyone have any ideas as to what he's doing that may be different? Regards, Steve
