Hi Bob,

Thanks for the encouragement.  I haven't tried rotated bitboards but
they sound like a good thing.  How are you using them?  In move
generation
evaluation or both?  I have a feeling that it may take some time before
bitboard stuff is completely understood.   I think it took a while
before
offset programs developed to the point they are today.  There will be
some tricks and techniques that we haven't even thought of and our
techniques
will improve.  Rotated bitboards may be a typical example of this kind
of thing.  I only heard about them a couple of months ago but have yet
to experiment with them.   I assume you keep all copies of rotated
boards
up to date during move making?

Keep up the good work.  I will share any new things I pick up with the
whole group.

Don
