Subject: Any sense in 32bit bitboards for bishops?

Author: Alvaro Jose Povoa Cardoso

Since bishops only move in a 32 square space, is there any speed advantage in
using 32bit bitboards for bishops?
I understand there is a square conversion step with a small speed penalty.
Is there someone who uses this trick?

Regards,
