Future Mobility
In his article A Proposed Heuristic for a Computer Chess Program [3], John L. Jerz suggests to maintain a database of potential mobility for each chess piece three moves into the future and to evaluate positions accordantly. Progressive mobility is applicable via fill algorithms, where a bitboard of (safe) piece attacks of a sliding piece, a knight or a king is fed to appropriate set-wise attack generators, f.i. Dumb7Fill or Kogge-Stone algorithm for sliders.
