Subject: Question re general effect on results of using tablebases

Author: Christopher A. Morgan

I assume Bob Hyatt's Crafty play on the various chess playing sites
makes use of the Namilov tablebases for 3-6 pieces as posted
on his site.  I was wondering what the effect of using
such tablebases is on the overall results of games against
good human players vs not using the tablebases.  Similarly
against computers with and without use of the same tablebases -
all other variables maintained.

Intuitively, it seems use of tablebases should raise program's
ELO by some not insubstantial amount - 75-100 ELO points, more?

Anyone know whether Deeper Blue had tablebases of some kind?

Thanks.

Chris
