What large memroy requirement?
19x19 (the board)
x2 (bits per stone)
/8 (bits per byte) = less then 128 bytes.
Times 1024 moves per game = 128KB
What is 128KB of internal memory these days????
Let's be realistic guys. We're dealing with internal memories of at least
64MB. Even more, I wouldn't conceive to work (develop software) on a machine
with less then 512MB.
So the argument of not enough space to memorize all positions is of days
that long pased
