I haven't really found an explanation of bitboards yet that explains them in
a way that I can understand them.  I have searched on the net and what I found
is really only a general description with maybe showing that you can & bits,
but not really explaining move generation.

Dr. Hyatt said to read this book.  Since I haven't seen it, I wonder if it will
give me a good explanation of bitboards.
