Well if you can speed it up your way, then go ahead.  Come back and continue
complaining if you can get 1% speed increase out of it.  In fact I would be
surprised if you can avoid a 5% speed drop by writing it as you say.

Only if they want their code to work quickly.  It's their choice, I suppose.

I just remembered how slow they are.  Perhaps you would find a loop easier to
read, but I tend to find things easier when they're written out in a logical
fashion.

Run my movegen against yours and post the results.
