I thnik the person you should post here is KARINSDAD who worked on this quite a bit and from when I last spoke to him was able to store the board position in something like 153 bits I think that was including EP and castling. I will see if I have any records as to about when this thread ripped through here but I am sure KD can provide you with some info. In fact I took the thread over to the MS newsgroup and we had a good one going there also. Good Luck, Les
