Go up one level in this thread


It's the ease of adding new evaluation knowledge cleanly, quickly, and
efficiently that makes bitboards a win. In my old mailbox days, I
thought
my evaluation function with its grotesque rules-of-thumbs that tried to
check for things was ugly. My bitboard evaluation seems much more
acceptable.

But can't you use rotated bitboards win for move generation too?

That would seem to make bitboards a better solution across-the-board...
not just for evaluation.

A SAN-like package for doing rotated bitboard move generation would be
rather nice.
