I guess psuedo legal moves may be close enough. Levy's old book (THe Chess Computer Handbook) seems to value mobility very highly. In simple Othello program it was very important, almost the only important evaluation term. I used to do it for bishops (free squares), but it was costly - no rotated bitboards. Lately I have concentrating on block pawns as a surrogate; or is it determinant? Frank
