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.
