While the series offers a nice introduction in chess engine programming and [[Bitboards|bitboard]] techniques,
the advanced approach of [[Magic Bitboards]] to determine [[Sliding Piece Attacks|sliding piece attacks]] with all its lengthy initialization topics might be hard to understand and deterrent for the intended novice target group.
The linewise approaches of [[First Rank Attacks]] to introduce occupancy lookups, followed by [[Kindergarten Bitboards]] - as intermediate step towards magics bitboards - seem didactically more appropriate. Anyway, a valuable video series covering various aspects of computer chess programming. '''BBC 1.0''' was finally released on September 24, 2020 <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75199 BBC 1.0 release - UCI chess engine by CMK] by [[Maksim Korzh]], [[CCC]], September 24, 2020</ref>, '''BBC 1.3''' on October 21, 2020, utilizing [[Stockfish NNUE|Stockfish's NNUE]] evaluation via [[Daniel Shawul|Daniel Shawul's]] [[Scorpio#ScorpioNNUE|Scorpio NNUE]] [[Scorpio#Bitbases|egbbdll]] probing library <ref>[http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=75482 BBC 1.3 + Stockfish NNUE released!] by [[Maksim Korzh]], [[CCC]], October 21, 2020</ref>.
