Marc Bourzutschky has created knnnnkq not too long ago. He reported it here on
CCC. It is a border case, that just is doable on a modern 32-bit computer with
the method used. Other positions with less symmetry (say you exchange one N by a
B) would need another method on a 32 bit computer, because the adress space
would not be enough anymore to even store one bit for each position.
