Quote from a Frank Quisinsky interview, December 2009 :  =Copy-Make= Doch was a 64-bit aka bitboard program, applying a Copy-Make approach with a position state of 192 byte allocated on the stack code format="cpp" position search( position_state *prev, ...  ) {  position_state  new_position; ... other stuff foreach move in movelist do { make( prev, &new_position, move ); } } code
