I think he means that he uses the 64-word array so that he can convert a move to
a string. For example, if he had a move from g1 to f3 of the knight, how is he
going to convert that to "Nf3"? He would either have to search through all of
his bitboards to see which piece was being moved, or he could just use an array.
That is how I understand it, but I could be missing his point also.
