Hi Mark,

I'm sorry to see no replies to your request, because I also would like
to obtain a set of endgame table-bases in a format I can read. It's all
very well to have many  megabytes of raw data, but much more useful when
you know how it's organised. My reason for wanting this information is
more mundane than yours, as I am developing a chess playing program
which would doubtless benefit substantially from such table-bases. I
could construct some of these table-bases from scratch, but this would
take a lot of time and effort. The process of constructing such tables
is quite tricky, as I can testify after having done this for a number of
draughts (checkers) endgames with up to six men on the board. If you
find out the structure of Crafty's table-bases please post it here or
email me at REWaldteufel@compuserve.com.

Good Luck

Roberto
