From the Rybka documentation:

"What can we expect from Beta 13, and when can we expect it?

Beta 13 should have the following features:

1) EGTB access
2) Bug fixes

It should be ready within 3 days.

What about the actual endgame knowledge?

This is being worked on in parallel and is going through an offline process. It
looks to be roughly on schedule for integration into a released version of Rybka
sometime around Feb 1."

Here is a terabyte disk for $700:

That means that 14,285,714 bytes of space is one penny's worth.

Trivial with tablebase files, which are coming.

Since it is probably the strongest single CPU engine in the world, it must not
be too idiotic.

If you want "strong + ultra-tiny" try Thinker:
