Yes, I was reffering to a server where all of the Nalimov (probably) endings
would be stored, and that server could be queried. Sort of like a DNS server or
whois server. It wouldn't be useful for doing queries within the search (too
slow). Probably just by the GUI to detect when a game has reached a TB position.
At least for 6-7 piece endings, this would be useful given their probable size.
