>- How EGTB works.

Basically you check when you arrive to a new node whether it is in tablebase
files. If it is you probe the right file and extract the score and return it. If
it is not you continue normally.

I don't quite understand your question. I don't understand what switch/... has
to do with EGTB? Could you be more specific - what do you mean by "normal"?

>- How to build an EGTB.

By downloading a EGTB generator from somewhere and generating the files yourself
(you need patience, a lot RAM and hard drive space and a fast processor) or
downloading the EGTB files themselves (recommended).
