A single-byte-per-move representation is very common; CDB uses it as its compressed representation. But such a representation is not context-free, for its interpretation depends on other information. If you want a compact position representation that is free of context, it'll be bigger than a byte. If you can instead depend on a context, at the limiting case your representation could be a single bit. A context-free representation smaller than 173 bits would be an important achievement; good luck.
