Hi,

I'd use the 0x88-representation. The board is represented by an array
of 128 entrys: 64 squares and 64 'bordersquares' (which are unused).
The idea is that a square board[i] is a bordersquare if (0!=(i&0x88)).
There are some more nice properties of this representation, see older
threads in this forum.
