Subject: Nalimov tablebases other than included with Hiracs 7.32

Author: Nicholas Cooper

I notice that Hiracs 7.32 (as distributed by ChessBase) includes all the 3 and 4
piece endgame tablebases but only the following 5-piece ones:
KPP-KP, KRP-KR, KBP-KB, KRB-KR, KRN-KR.
Given that, for example, KQP-KQ, KQ-KRP and KQ-KR are of significant importance
in practical play, is it possible to download these somewhere and if so, how
large are they? I have read that the generating program for the compressed
tablebases can require large amounts of RAM which I do not have (my machine is a
PII-233MHz with 64MB RAM).

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.
