Of course i was very happy when the EGTBs arrived in the endgame. Now a few years later i see less and less importance of using them. OF COURSE I USE THEM, for the obvious reason that perfect information is always better than imperfect information. But it is hard facts that if i would have had in 1999 (februari) the tablebases, that i would have won paderborn ipccc1999 tournament. Chance the EGTBs make the difference between winning a tournament or now now in 2002 is way less.
