Detailed Description

The POD base type of class Type.

This class uses the same internal type as Code to store the type bits. It even uses the same bits (the three least significant bits). All other bits are garanteed zero.

If the third bit is set then the object represents a sliding piece (bishop, rook or queen). If in addition the first bit is set it can moves like a bishop (bishop and queen), or if the second bit is set it can move like a rook (rook and queen).
