What is Crafty's strength with tablebases, and without? Or any program for that matter? Are tablebases really that needed for these engines that use them to perform well? Only reason I ask is, I watch several games in a series between Little Goliath, and Crafty 17.10, and Little Goliath played the endgame better than Crafty did with tablebases? Why would this be? How much weaker would Crafty be let's say without them? Many engines play endgames perfectly without tablebases, and usually do a bit better than ones that use them. They may not move instantly, but they certainly get the job done....
