It is worth trying and comparing the two approaches. Moreover some of
the
code you will write, for example the distance code can also prove useful
in my architecture.
Maybe we can have a variable that switches the move generation, and then
compare both approaches easily.
I follow this approach because It worked well in my capture search, but
maybe connection is a different story.
