Hey Marc,

I hadn't done anything because I didn't want to shell out for a board, and I was
pretty busy working on a chip.

But a friend just gave me a couple of development boards, plus this stuff at
work became available after our chip architecture grew and we had to stuff some
new boards with bigger FPGAs, thus making the older ones obsolete.

Maybe I should synthesize your movegen as-is and see how well it fits into a
XC2V4000 part. I think that you used XCV800 in your work right? So we have a
40/8 = 5X increase in gates by the part numbers alone, plus additional Virtex II
features which should help improve routing...

I have to tell you that I work only in Verilog, so I would create a new move
generator in Verilog eventually :-)
