I don't know what code you are looking at.  I lose _no_ attacks, _no_ pieces,
and _no_ information in my bitboard code.  If we are back on the 'mobility'
issue again (different value for each square attacked) I can do that if I need
to.  At present I don't see the need.  But if I wanted to have 3-4 'classes' of
squares to count mobility on, it would be trivial.
