I have precalculated the 127 (max) possible bit patterns for each column or diagonal given the other bits sitting on that row. So the moves are simply returned given the piece location, and the bitboard of the other chessmen. (Row and column or both diagonals are two lookups but the data is returned simultaneously.) You can also find pins in this way, and return that data as well (and a few other things besides).
