Interesting. What are the practical implications of using 8 vs 12 bits? Does using fewer bits allow chess engines compute more moves ahead?

- billforsternz 11y agoNo, chess engines use the simple highly performant "native" move representations. My 8 bit scheme approaches the performance of native representation, but is only (potentially) useful for other types of applications, particularly chess databases.
