We can represent other things with bitboards also.
spaces attacked by black knights can be derived from a bitboard of black knights positions, and a jump table.

now anded with the board of spaces occupied by black pieces tells us which spaces these knights can not jump to because the destination square is occupied by a friendly piece.
