thanks.
I get a lot of errors when compiling it:

$ gcc *.s
X86.s: Assembler messages:
X86.s:4: Error: bad or irreducible absolute expression
X86.s:30: Error: bad or irreducible absolute expression

No clue what's wrong.

Another thing, isn't Crafty using a different board orientation than a1=0,
h8=63?

So I might need a rewrite to use them?

They are also easier for me to work with, I'll think I will look at them a bit
more :)
