Hi uri: by ordinary ones i meant ordinary EGTB (the ken thompson ones)as opposed to the newer nalimov EGTB.i wasn't referring to a particular chess engine having the capacity to access them in the search.it is my understanding thqt with nalimov EGTB the chess engine can actually search for a position encoded within the EGTB as opposed to the older EGTB which kick in only when a psoition has actually been reached which is within the EGTB. correct me if i'm wrong rajen > >Not only chessbase programs use the nalimov tablebases. >Shredder4,Shredder5 and Tiger14 and a lot of amatuers also use the nalimov >tablebases when the position in the board is not a tablebase position. > > and if this is so, the nalimov EGTBs >>should lead to more efficent play by the chess programmes? > >The nalimov tablebases are used by top programs in the last years and it is >known that they are used in the search. > >Uri
