This from the guy who thought he made crafty play exactly like Deep Blue! ;-) They aren't really tablebase files anyway. They are approximations to them only. They don't give a best move. Instead, they give a winning move or a drawing move. But not necessarily the shortest one. They would be (depending on the type and number of pieces) much smaller than Nalimov tablebase files. You don't believe that, which is fine. But it's a fact.
