Still bitboarding?

I've had to catch up on all of the magic bitboard developments. Interesting stuff. It seems like that has become the popular approach now.need suggestion for callable Chess engine

Yes, without bitboard bit-twiddling chess programming would be so boringrreagan wrote:Hey Gerd, yes, still bitboarding
I still rely on SSE2 kogge-stone fill-stuff with vectors of four bitboards (quad-bitboards). Actually I even flip the color each make/unmake to have always white to move. I'll hope earlier or later it pays off with 128-bit SSE2 alus. Hopefully amd will overcome the current K10 (barcelona) quarrels. The announced SSE5 looks promising thought.
