With 10 pieces on the board, and a very deep search, I wouldn't be surprised to see them in the TBs everywhere. Chinook hits the TBs 70% of the time from the opening move, in checkers. That is pretty wild. The DB statement is not very far from reality at all. Certainly it looks credible when compared with the nonsense hype from ChessBase... > >Though you and i probably know that they most likeley didn't have >10 men endgame table bases. > >Talking about PR crap... ...i find it good this PR crap, not that >i'm there to increase sales for chessbase, but to get more >attention to the chess world again. > >Because right now everyone still says: "chess is solved by IBM back >in 1997". that's what the average scientists thinks about chess. If Kramnik blasts DF, this will not change one thing about the DB result.
