assert!(after_e4.position().board().is_occupied(square::E4));

module map

• [bitboard] — 64-bit board representation and bitwise operations.
• [square], [rank], [file] — coordinate primitives.
• [color], [role], [piece], [side] — piece and side identifiers.
• [board] — piece placement, attack detection, and queries.
• [attacks], [magic] — precomputed attack tables and magic bitboards.
• [mve], [uci] — move representation and UCI parsing.
• [castles], [unmoved_rooks] — castling rights and rook tracking.
• [halfmoveclock], [ply] — clocks for the fifty-move rule and side to move.
• [hash] — Zobrist hashing and repetition trails.
• [history] — per-position history (last move, castles, clock, hashes).
• [position] — a complete game state with legal-move generation.
• [outcome] — terminal results (win, draw, draw reason).
• [game] — high-level wrapper that tracks turns and outcomes.

roadmap

• benchmarks
  • will move to mutable api if benchmarks are very bad
• fen parsing
• real uci support
