The move generation scheme seems to have been invented a lot of times. It would be interesting to know where exactly the 0x88 name originated. We used to call it 'Seven bit board' where we used it. That name came from our observation that a sixty-four square board is adressed by six bits (2x3 bits really) but the out of bounds checking was more efficient on 8x16 and 16x16 boards. Btw, I believe Tiger uses an Eight Bit Board. MvH Dan Andersson
