Here's a useful site: http://www.brucemo.com/compchess/programming/index.htm And here are 2 fast move generating techniques covered there: http://www.brucemo.com/compchess/programming/0x88.htm http://www.brucemo.com/compchess/programming/movetable.htm However, the time spent in move generation is a tiny percentage of what most programs do. I would not expect great things from the move generator speed-wise for the program as a whole.
