I'm sure Yace 0.21 is better that Yace 0.15 even without tablebases, but I'm not
sure why :o). Except for "minor" bugfixes and fractional extensions. In my tests
I haven't discovered that null_high=4 is better, but it might be. Here's a few
G/25 games against Crafty using version 0.22 with default settings.
