| class | ChessPosition |
A class to keep track of castling rights.
This class is for internal use. ChessPosition takes cares of keeping track of castling rights and the user should never have to access or use this class.
Each ChessPosition has one CastleFlags member that keeps track of which rook and king moved. Castling is only allowed when neither, the king nor the rook used to castle, did move.
This object has no notion of temporary reasons why castling might not be allowed. However, two unused bits are used to store whether or not white/black is in check (that is not used for the castling part though).
