Subject: Help on rewrite decision (ajedres tactico)

Hi

I'm stuck with my program "ajedrez tactico", so i'm planing a complete rewrite,
i have the dream of creating a top class chess engine, i think i can. I have
many ideas in my mind,  but a fundamental decision i have to make it's to chose
the board representation: Bitboards or 0x88 or anyother?

Currently i use a 64 bytes array with a Mailbox move scheme, that's why i think
i could be more confortable with 0x88, but i don't know if this it's good
enought to make a top class chess program. Are there many (or any) class
programs that currently use 0x88?

Maybe it's an already answered question, but i'm new to this forum, so if you
don't want to waste much time, just post your choice (like a poll): Bitboards or
0x88?

Thank you in advance.
