If BLACK is 0 and WHITE is 1 is easy to write code like

procedure DoSomething(p: boardoffset; color: boardcolor);
begin
  othercolor := 1-color; 
  ...
end;

since one rarely want to deal with the colors explicetely. But this is 
of course a rather minor point. It does not matter for the 
performance because you only make this transformation once in 
every procedure.
