Go up one level in this thread


His Martin,
Sorry I can't give any help on that matter.
I would apreciate some help though.
As you might know I also made a checkers engine (Portuguese/Spanish) and I
intend to do some EGTBs.
Could you please give me some insights on this?
Specifically:
   1. What do you store on each EGTB entry?
   2. Is a byte enough for an entry?
   3. How do we contruct an index from a position?
   4. Does a N piece TB refers to just N piece positions or could it refers to
less than N positions? (Or does it progresses to another TB of less that N
pieces?)
   5. Could you outline in some detail how does a TB generator works?
   6. Dow you first generate all wins in 1 ply then in 2 the in 3...?
   7. Could you give me some examples of EGTBs file names?
   8. How much EGTB files do you have at present?
   9. For a specifc EGTB, do we need to do a file for White and another for
black? Or can we use a single file for white and black? OR can we avoid this by
exchanging colors before lookup the TB?

Thanks in advance,
Alvaro Cardoso
