Bitboards have a bit of a performance advantage on 64 bit processors, which will be the standard before too long. Bitboards take a good while to become familiar with, and that is a critical ingredient in using them. You'll be amazed at those that say "this can't be done or that can't be done" but only because they have not tried to figure out how to do it. Pick the one you think is interesting and go with that. There's plenty of time to change your mind later... Most of us have tried several approaches as our programs evolved.
