Hello Michael,

The lookup method you have made is very interesting indeed. The way you provided
it in the form of of minimal source is also fine. It's when the/a whole
professional engine appears as source that my heart sinks. We know that there
are those who do not take the time to assimulate the concepts behind as you
know. The illustration of method is all anyone needs.

Your method of creating fast move generators is new, different and you are to be
congratulated on it.

Very nice.

Regards

Christopher
