hi; thanks for the answers: however isn't it true that the 4cd set by chess base (endgame turbo)consists of nalimov EGTB's whereby the chess engine can actually search for a position encoded within these tablebases as opposed to the ordinary ones in which only when a position that is in the EGTB,is actually reached during game play that the EGTBs kick in? and if this is so, the nalimov EGTBs should lead to more efficent play by the chess programmes? rajen gupta On April 07, 2001 at 06:52:41, Victor Zakharov wrote: >On April 06, 2001 at 18:01:33, John Dahlem wrote: > >>On April 06, 2001 at 17:25:01, Rajen Gupta wrote: >> >>>Further question:does this 12 Cd set work with chessbase engines, such as fritz6 >>>etc? >> >>It should, but I'm not 100% sure.
