My chess engine uses rotated bitboards. Here is my opinion, make of it what you will: - Don't use bitboards since Crafty does. - Don't use them for a speed increase. - Don't use them if you think they will make you code simpler. - Don't use them since 64bit processors are going to become the norm. In fact, I would not recommend anyone using bitboards at all _unless_ they have thought about exactly what they are wanting from their engine in the future. Reiterating my point, it's pointless choosing a data structure this complicated unless you can see a _very_ good reason to do so. A happy bitboarder, Joel
