When you reread your code it must look like one big hacked spaghetticode thanks
to brilliant bitboard tricks.

So if you are trying to improve your code you won't find out which pattern is
supposed to work for you in a position X which didn't work in fact, or which
pattern is supposed to not work and does evaluate true more or less.

Speed is nice to have of course. Fast code is good. But it must keep readable to
some extend. I learned that the hard way.
