Yes, the CBD format is a fairly sweet. My approach was an attempt to a) get below 24 bytes and b) try something different. It actually goes down to 23 bytes since it has been determined that 50 move rule and move by repetition is worthless information in this type of a format. Andrew has a simpler packed format than the one I mentioned above in my post that fits into 22 bytes. His is currently at 174 bits, the same as the one you mention below. If you could post the 174 bit representation that you mentioned, I would appreciate it.
