Subject: EGTB - dumb questions?

Author: Pham Minh Tri

Hi all,
Some my questions as I start my EGTBs:
1) What have I to do when there are more pieces than I need (for probing EGTB)?
For example, I have table of KBNK, but an endgame is KBNPK. Give the "redundant"
pieces for opponent?
2) I see that index for EGTB is not simple, so why do we not apply the same
technique as opening book: use hashkey? I guess one of the reasons is to save
space for TBs - use halves of them. But I think we could reverse the board,
re-calculate the new hashkey to match the TBs again? Or do I miss something?

Many thanks for any help.
Pham
