The KRxKR tablebases alone take 2,3 GB. (2x167 MB for the pawnless, 2x538 MB for the classes with pawns) Dunno how much extra space is needed during the generation. And there are something like 52 or 57 5-man TB's... Not to mention the generation time. I haven't yet built a 5-man TB, but a pawnless 4-man class took around 6 minutes on my P6, and with the exponential growth this might be very well over a day per 5-man class on a P5-90. --- Shep
