Many positions have a different outcome if the side to move changes... so you need the same position, but with BTM and WTM with different scores... 6's are "it" for right now. And it will take _some machine_ to host all the 6 piece files, conservatively estimated at over 1 terrabyte total. 7's will be roughly 64 times bigger... 64 terrabyte machines are really not practical. yet...
