A chess engine written in go
For the board representation I'm using 8 bitboards, 6 for the pieces and 2 for colors.
Other than this I'm storing WhiteToPlay and castling rights as bits inside of Flags which is a uint16
I'm storing EnPassantSquare as a uint8.
At last I'm storing move count HalfMoveClock and FullMoveCount as uint16 separately.
The complete board representation takes 72 bytes with 8-byte alignment.
