Hi,

spike has a "modified" 0x88 board representation. Spike generates moves in 3
phases:

1. Hash-Move
2. Captures and Killers
3. Silent Moves

The silent move generator is called less than 10% compared to the
captures/killers generator in normal search (not counted q-search).

Even if the code seems to be nearly equal the captures-move generator is much
faster than a combined move-generator.

Greetings Volker
