Go up one level in this thread



Boy! I only downloaded 40 of the 203 files of the 5 Man Tablebase.  That folder
is HUGE!

A thought came to me when I was downloading, I noticed that tablebases, now that
almost all things have been modified from "man" to "person" like
Time Magazines's "Man of the Year" to "Person of the Year," still remains to be
"5 "man" tablebase, 4 "man" tablebase and so forth.

I woudn't be suprised if someday we begin to call these tableses "5 'person'
tablebase," 4 'person' tablebase and so forth :)

Just a thought ^_^
