Subject: Re: How much hard-drive space do I need for endgame tablebases?

I think telling generating five man tb's needs a lot of time is kicking in an
open door. So I won't tell you that again.

At Robert Hyatt's ftp-server you can download all 3/4/5 and some 6 man.
The 3/4/5 together are about 7,3 gig.

ftp://ftp.cis.uab.edu/pub/hyatt/TB/

ChessBase sells the "Fritz Endgame Turbo" which is 2,62Gb and (as they say) the
most common 5 man.

I don't know exactly if all 5 piece TB's can be generated with the ChessBase TB
generator but given the amount of space you need I think it does.

Remember however, 3 man, a few 100 kB, 4 man some 30 Mb, the rest: 5 man, let
alone 6 man.

Good luck.

Jeroen ;-}
