I you want to understand the ChessBase engine notation the question is: How many
official service packs have been released that changed the engine
(substantially)? Not how many different .eng files with a different date exists
here and there. Eg. was the engine 6b an official service pack, or reserved for
YT and a ChessBase CD? As far as I understand 6a and 6b are identical except for
a (minor) tablebase fix. That would explain the use of 6c for the latest engine
revision.
