*phew*

I thought mine was bad then, but in fact it runs on a P3/450Mhz at
over 2M *with* legality testing, and I use 8*8 arrays for the board which should
make it run more slowly.

One of the benefits of doing stupid numbers of fiddly optimisations and just
repeating a lot of functions with slightly different optimisations for various
different tasks rather than having a few generalised movegen routines.

*grin*
