Best Magics so far

Home * Board Representation * Bitboards * Sliding Piece Attacks * Magic Bitboards * Best Magics so far

This page is intended to publish and share results on magic factors and shifts (64 - Bits used) for most dense magic bitboards tables. Little endian file and rank mapping is used (a1 = 0), for other mappings simply transform the square.

If you prefer your own magics, see Looking for Magics.

=Legende=
 * sq - the square of a rook or bishop considering little endian file and rank mapping
 * #sq - index of that square in the 0..63 range
 * premask - the mask to get all relevant occupied bits, considering the inner six bits.
 * bits - the population count of premask
 * used - hopefully less than bits, determines the shift (64 - used)
 * magic - the magic factor
 * postmask - attacks on the otherwise empty board
 * found by (optional) - the person who found that number.
