Hi great team,
just for curiousity is there a best combinaison between memory sizing and speed program
for example between 0x88, bitboard, 8x8, 16x16 ...

Re: balance between memory size and speed program
I don't really understand your question but the board representation by itself does not consume a lot. But some operations like , calculating attacks sets from bitboards, may require huge lookup tables (rotated bitboards and magic tables for example). So that could be a problem on cpus with small cache. Other than that the board representation does not dictate the size of your program much, so you can have a big program using 0x88 just as much as using bitboards.
