Since bishops can only touch 32 squares of a chess board, has anyone bothered to write a system using 32 bit bitboards for bishops? About like a rotated bitboard, but shrunk by half. Also, knights can only cover a 5x5 area (with only 8 spots attacked or defended) and so it seems that knights might also use a compressed scheme (though not nearly so obvious as bishops).
