Subject: What are the algorithms for creating tablebases? (slightly OT)

Author: Steve Maughan

I am thinking about trying to create a tablebase for a checkers program I am
developing.  While I realise that the 6 pieces Chinook database is available it
doesn't contain 'distance to win' information, only win/loss/draw.

Is there any literature on the basics of creating a tablebase from scratch?  Can
anyone explain the basic algorithms in a nutshell?

All help appreciated!
