A bitboard is a specialized bit array data structure commonly used in computer systems that play board games, where each bit corresponds to a game board space or piece. Bitboards are applicable to any board game whose game state is represented by the presence of pieces on discrete spaces of a gameboard, including chess, checkers, othello and word games.
