Your analysis doesn't allow for en passant or "You can/can't castle"...

Yes it does:
[System.ComponentModel.DescriptionAttribute("Piece has a special or limiting movement rule")]
SpecialMask = 1
Knight, King, and Pawn all have that Flag.

|

Having the flag doesn't complete the problem. The state of a board position needs to include whether an en passant move or a rook/king move has recently or already taken place. Just knowing that a move could have taken place doesn't work.
[... not sure what you mean about knight. I think you meant rook.]

Pfft. That's details.
I meant Knight. Rooks have nothing special other than being at the mercy of the King during a castling move. The goal of that exercise was merely to assign 4-bit values to the tokens in a "logical" manner. I have no ambition to implement the system as described.

Amazing that I would have never known either of them had died, if it weren't for the breaking news reporters here on CP.

I cant do it - I am too sentimental. My first e-mail nearly 20 years.

Oh, that's all... I was afraid that Bowie might have died, there were rumours.

It's worse than that, Leslie Nielsen has died!

You just reminded me to check my Yahoo Mail account, which I haven't done in at least 6 months. Based on past history, I was expecting hundreds of unread items.
Surprisingly, it only has 12 emails, all spam, all dated from December 11 onward, which is probably not a coincidence. They've either gotten a lot better, or they now just blindly delete everything older than a month (inbox included, to which I say WTF).

Sadly the pool of people who will understand this grows ever smaller.

Don't worry, some names will never be forgotten as long as CP is there - He who shall not be named, Pumpkinhead, Adnan Siddiqui, Dalek Dave....

Have you checked his wikipedia entry lately to be sure?
