bitboards are 64 bit numbers that every bit
has a meaning about the board
(if you use nodes as 64 bit number it is not bitboard program)

They should be also something that is not hash signature of
the position but something that can help you to calculate
information about the position.

By this definition movei is not a bitboards based program.
