Why are we resorting to instances which will never be of practical use in a game
of chess? Maybe after we compare perft's we can compare something equally useful
like who has the larger opening book and base the "bitboards vs. non-bitboards"
discussion on that, since that is equally unrelated to this discussion.

If you lose a game to Crafty, are you going to say, "But my perft times were
better!"?
