How much faster would a chess engine be if it didn't have to deal with the
special cases such as en passant, castling, promotion, etc.? In other words,
only having to deal with moving one piece from one square to another.

Would it be twice as fast? Or would more costly things such as the evaluation
function make the gain in speed less than 2x?
