Subject: Question about tablebases - Can they be better/smaller?

Author: David Wilke

Date: 14:03:51 01/27/01

Can tablebases be improved upon even more than they already are? Currently there
are several "types" of tablebases, being the Nalimov, Thompson, and others. Can
there not be a "best" solution for how to construct them to smaller in size, and
hold more information?

A new compression method perhaps?

As hard drives get bigger and faster, would it not be more beneficial to make
tb's smaller, easier to make, so that one day, chess could be solved by
tablebases alone? Is this even possible?
