Bitboard-Chess,
a WinBoard compliant, didactic open source chess program by Bill Jordan, written in C++ and licensed under the GPL version 3.
Bitboard-Chess is designed to show how a chess engine might work, quite similar to Bills Bare Bones Chess aka Basic-Chess, but using bitboards [1].
Bitboard serialization is done via Matt Taylor's folded BitScan [2],
but move generation of sliding pieces is done in mailbox manner
iterating over ray directions and pre-calculated target squares [3].
