Hi !

i am allready understand bitboards and rewritten most of my engine ( EnginMax )
with bitboards and don't understand why is this not stronger then my older
version 5.11c.
i am not found any bugs in the bitboards, its works good, the move generator is
faster then previous.

I ask me what are the differents between bitboards and with the array
structures.
bitboards working not faster i think, its only easy to use it.

what is now the point for a strong engine ?

- only speed ?
- more razoring/pruning ?
- very good evalution function / more knowledge ?
- good transposition tables?
- big book ?
- good in the endgame ?
- more extensions ?
- better move ordering ?
- better null move / double null move pruning ?
- any other more things that i don't know about ?

:(

if you can help me, email me to engin.us@gmx.net please !
