If anybody is interested, PAD Powell and Jon Schaeffer have just
written a tech report on a VLSI legal move generator.  This one chip
wonder (it's a wonder it works) will generate pseudo legal moves
for any board position in about 100 microseconds.  This is a constant
time,  and can be overlapped with readout of the legal moves.
Basically, it will eliminate most software overhead on legal move
generation. For more on the design, see "VLSI Legal Move Generator"
paper in the 1983 Caltech VLSI Conference Proceedings (to be published),
