I think I will take a fresh look at Chest now.  When I did the port to Win32, I
really did not try to understand the program (though I did nose around here and
there) -- only as much as I needed to make it work in Win32.

It seems to me that the idea must be far more difficult without bitboards, so I
am going to take a look and see how on earth you managed to do it.
