I see lots of tablebase hits when the root position has 12+ pieces >still on the board... Any guestimates as to how this number is going to grow? I mean, with 3-man TB's, you only get many TB hits from positions with 4-6 pieces (typically, not extreme cases), 4-man with 5-7 pieces (I rarely see it with more pieces), 5-man as you say 12 or more - maybe that means that 6-man TB's would be heavily probed from positions with 14-17 or even more pieces? 7-man... hmmm... --- Shep
