Modifying TSCP to have a piece list is not a trivial amount of code.

A better approach to speeding up TSCP is to improve the attack() function in
board.c. It's pretty easy to make this function many times faster. I was playing
with this one evening and got TSCP running ~90% faster... :)

Of course, all the speed in the world wouldn't help TSCP, because it only
searches to a fixed depth. :)
