Yes ... 64 bits ... an assembler chess programmer's dream ... but for me it
doesn't matter much ... I'm not going back to assembly any time soon, I like C
too much. :)

I don't think Chessmaster does brute force. And it doesn't need it either, it's
good enough selective!

I did a hashless search too for this last position, took 15 seconds to solution
instead of 4, so it helps Pretz a lot!
