I think that there is some contradiction in what you ask for.

I believe the more game specific an engine is, the more potential it has.
This goes for board structure, move ordering, pruning, extensions and
evaluation, everything.

I see no reason to use a widely applicable board structure when the rest of the
engine isn't going to be game portable anyway.
