How can you use 8 bit values only to store the move you may need 6 bits because you may have more than 32 legal moves even only with king and queen. do you mean 8 bits only to store the result and that the tablebases use more than 8 bits for position(8 bits for result and 5 or 6 bits for the move)? you can save space in the harddisk by not storing the result and computing it by playing the right moves against yourself but in this case you are slower.
