I thought I had understood how to implement Eugene's EGTBs, but may have been overly optimistic. The databases are registered and return a number which seem to vary consistently according to my perception of how many moves to mate in simple KRRk endings, but in actual play against GNUChess in a KNBk ending the pieces just dance around until a draw by 3 rep. So I must have messed up the conversation to my programs mate scoring. The database returns numbers up to 127, -126. Are these ply or moves? Is the score from the perspective of the side to move - whoever has the most pieces? Apologies for the simple questions but I could not find the answers in the documentation. Frank
