There are several ways I could be convinced without a real proof, even. If you, say, would rewrite Crafty in classical form, spend time optimizing it, invite Vincent to do the same and he ends up with something that's decidedly slower than what you have now, then that's pretty good evidence that for a program like Crafty bitboards are the superior approach. If the top 5 engine programmers speak out and all say they use or switch to bitboards I'm also going to be convinced it's the superior approach. If after the switch to 64-bit hardware you end up smashing me and Vincent by a significant margin then I'm also going to be convinced. Lots of ways to convince me, as long as they're not based on hand-waving (you like that word, don't you?) -- GCP
