=Quotes= from Bradley Kuszmaul's Ph.D. thesis The code for move generation and checking illegal moves, which takes a total of 3.5% of the cycles, was optimized in assembly language by Ryan Rifkin under the direction of Mark Bromley of Thinking Machines Corporation. Before Ryan worked on that code, the move generation and illegal move checking accounted for about 9% of all the cycles.
