Go up one level in this thread

"Furthermore, the programs will have no access to the EGTB so that we can see
the proper endgame knowledge of the engines."

This statement implies that tablebases are "improper" endgame knowledge!?
Tablebases shorten games (time) and I suspect some engines depend on them for
many positions where it would be tedious to program special knowledge for each
position(KNNKP/KBNK etc).  Leaving them out is a mistake in my opinion.
