Interface IsMoveGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:

CBFMoveGenerator

public interface IsMoveGenerator

Interface for move generators.

The idea is that different types of databases can use different move generators for encoding of games in their database. This interface allows to return different sequences of possible moves in a given position (obviously not different lists because that would imply different rules ;-)
