Sure, if you had 80-bit registers. Even then, a piece will never move more than one or two squares farther, and it is only an extra attack or two, not a move. All most must still be generated individually. Surely the costs of using 80-bit bitboards on 32-bit hardware outweigh getting a handful of attacks for free at each node. Don't you think?
