Yeah right Tord :) I think it only depends on which tool set makes sense to your brain. Some people (I would think most) think better in terms of the serial nature of an 0x88-like approach, while others think better in terms of the parallel nature of bitboards. Most programming for decades (until recently) has been structured and serial in nature, so the 0x88-like approaches probably make sense to most programmers. It took me a long time to understand the tool set that bitboards provide, and I still feel that I'm not getting the whole picture.
