Subject: Another EPD thing -- bug or feature?

Go up one level in this thread


The e.p. squares on an EPD position seem to be generated (according to the
standard) whether they can have some effect or not.  This has one result of
causing many more distinct positions than really do exist.  Perhaps this
accelerates move generation or ???

What is the rationale behind always generating the e.p. square on a two square
pawn hop, even if there is no guard to take it?
