That's right. Stanback used them in his program which was GNU Chess
v2, v3, v4. I don't recall what specific version he introduced it in
as the FSF does not keep old versions, as a rule. Perhaps it was even
in SCP which was pre-v2 as I recollect.

Kong-Sian's v5 used bitboards as it made sense to convert to that
paradigm for pedantic reasons.

The goal was to provide a full source to something readable.
