Board Representation

Amyan's mailbox board array has index 11 for a1 and 88 for h8, so it is apparently a 10*10 board with following index mapping. It further uses bitboards mainly for pawns.

int mailbox[100] = {
   -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1, -1,
   -1,  0,  1,  2,  3,  4,  5,  6,  7, -1,
   -1,  8,  9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, -1,
