Go up one level in this thread


So our conclusion is:

Maybe the Lokasoft engine uses tablebases, but it could also be the Edwards,
instead of the Thompson. Could also be hard coded. Yet it could be that the
Lokasoft engine doesn't use them at all.

About Rebel Tiger, maybe they do use the tablebases, but not in the sense of
"using" them, but otherwise. Maybe The former Rebel Tiger did, maybe it didn't.
Maybe they will, but only on a specified weekday, say friday.

About Thompson: Nalimov is smaller than Thompson, while Edwards is only used as
Airforce Base these days, not as Table Base.

But then again, it could well be different, you never know with those bases
generally. One moment they're generally used, the other moment they're in the
non commisioned bin.
All depends on the native engine, the bigger the hasj table, the higher the use,
and it's not known if it damages your health. Generally, smoking is bad for you,
as well as for the curtains.

Now about zugzwang: one word? two words? capital z or undercast?
We switch to Nalimov in the Edwards studio. Ken, what does Eugene say about
this?
