Sliding piece algorithms CPW update

Post by dangi12012 »

Context for this post is the current list of sliding piece algos on CPW. https://www.chessprogramming.org/Sliding_Piece_Attacks

I am referencing this Thread:

I can see that there are many algorithms missing in the CPW. Some algorithms are relatively new additions but some like QBB or NO_Headaches have been around longer. There are many new and exciting ideas missing and not just some variation of already known stuff.
Also for existing algorithms there have been many improvments that are not described.

Some algorithms like Classical-Bob-Mike were revived and modernized from old posts from 20 years ago.
