How big would be KRPKRP with all its possible promotions? It will be huge even
with today's 70GB PC harddisks. I do not believe that an incomplete set of
six-fold tablebases will help Fritz to really improve its difficult challange.
The complete set of six-fold tablebases might make a difference. But the
availability of a complete set of six-fold tablebases is something for the
future.
