Is that the number of nodes actually visited, or the number of leaves determined via bulk-counting?

What is the meaning of endBitCoord and moveBB? var endBitCoord = UBit(move.End.Index); // = (End).ToBitBoardValue(); var moveBB = move.BitBoardValue; // = (Start.ToBitBoardValue() | (End).ToBitBoardValue(); That would mean: endBitCoord ^ moveBB == ((Start.ToBitBoardValue() | (End).ToBitBoardValue()...

I would disagree only slightly. A program using only global variables and no subroutine parameters (or even worse, no subroutines at all ...) is probably 5% faster and 500% more buggy than a "normal" program.

I think the pawn move generation code indeed needs to be color-specific due to the shift left vs. shift right operations.

but it only achieved 1781 in the CCRL-list. There can be a few possibilities: [...] - I only test Rustic against other engines: the other engines don't play one another. (I don't have the computing power to do this; if I upgrade to a 16+ core computer at some time, I may have the option to do a few...

I get a virus warning from Malwarebytes if I try to run raven_openings_explorer.exe
Trojan.Glupteba

It is probably a false virus alert from Malwarebytes.

I get a virus warning from Kaspersky when downloading already ...

That is not my point. The goal is to clear all bits on file A. I do this by clearing all bits on file A. (... AND NOT FileA) You do this by clearing all other pawn bits and then flipping all pawn bits again. That is cryptography 😎 So is a matter of "sthetic"? (Not few thinking in a future understan...

For white pawns left captures: ((((WhitePawns AND File1) XOR WhitePawns) shl 7) AND BlackPieces) give me the bitboard with all the "to" I would rename "File1" into "FileA" but that is a matter of taste. More important, the expression above is wrong, it should be: (((WhitePawns AND NOT FileA) shl 7)...
