An alternative efficient chessboard representation based on 4-bit piece coding
This paper describes theoretical and practical aspects of an alternative efficient chessboard representation based on 4-bit piece coding technique. There are two main approaches used by the majority of computer chess programs: arrays and bitboards. However, after the years of researching and exp...
