You should get all the 3/4 piece files.  These total less than 200mb.  To that,
add kr*kr where *=pnbrq.  That will get you close to 1 gig total.  If you have
more space, I would grab 'sets' with a "p" in them, as I suggested for krp vs
kr.

ie kbpkb, kbpkn, knpkb, knpkn and so forth.  Don't forget the promotion cases
if you want optimal play...
