Popis: This paper describes theoretical and practical aspects of an alternative efficient chessboard representation based on 4-bit piece coding technique. There are two main approaches used by the majority of computer chess programs: arrays and bitboards. However, after the years of researching and experimenting with chess engine Axon and its parallel version Achilles , we would like to introduce an alternative chessboard representation C. C. R. ( Compact Chessboard Representation ) based on a new coding technique that performs very well both on 32-bit and 64-bit hardware platforms. Keywords: Computer chess, Chess engines, Data structures, Chessboard representation.
