If you insist on using bitboard, I suggest that you could use a "mix" representation (like some chess programmers did): use bitboard for some pieces (king, pawn, adviser, elephant – they are suitable for 64 bit bitboard) and array for the others. However, I do not believe bitboard will bring to Chinese chess programmers any benefit or fun. Pham
