That endgame tablebase search you posted was certainly interesting. Can you digress a little bit about what you did to integrate tablebases in standard play. To the endgame tablebase layperson, it would seem impossible: the files are so large as to not be comfortable in memory and fseeking a disk file during tree search at end points or in the search would be too slow. What's the trick? Also, with maximum tablebases enabled, what do you think is the increase in ratings point strength on ICS? --Stuart On January 14, 1998 at 21:13:28, Robert Hyatt wrote: >On January 14, 1998 at 17:47:04, Bruce Moreland wrote: > >> >>On January 14, 1998 at 17:31:10, Stuart Cracraft wrote: >> >>>Reti composed a famous endgame study with two outside >>>passed pawns.
