That sounds really good!  At the risk of getting an answer I will not
understand, let me ask anyway:  How would current chess engine code be changed
to take advantage of:

(a) asymmetric mappings,

(b) caching on ram, and

(c) caching in the memory controllers?

You may wish to address this to the computer programmers, since THEY will be the
ones who will write the new chess engine code.  [i.e. use "pseudo code,"
etceteras]
