-/// The position data structure. A position consists of the following data:
-///
-/// * For each piece type, a bitboard representing the squares occupied
-/// by pieces of that type.
-/// * For each color, a bitboard representing the squares occupied by
-/// pieces of that color.
-/// * A bitboard of all occupied squares.
-/// * A bitboard of all checking pieces.
-/// * A 64-entry array of pieces, indexed by the squares of the board.
-/// * The current side to move.
-/// * Information about the castling rights for both sides.
-/// * The initial files of the kings and both pairs of rooks. This is
-/// used to implement the Chess960 castling rules.
-/// * The en passant square (which is SQ_NONE if no en passant capture is
-/// possible).
-/// * The squares of the kings for both sides.
-/// * Hash keys for the position itself, the current pawn structure, and
-/// the current material situation.
-/// * Hash keys for all previous positions in the game for detecting
-/// repetition draws.
-/// * A counter for detecting 50 move rule draws.
