Might this cause me problems in the future? I think the .emd files are the only ones that matter. Make sure they're the same number of bytes as those on the FTP machine. The .tbs files are just text, with information about the positions contained in that tablebase. >2)By using the tbgen program I'm unable to build any endgames with six pieces. >While I don't feel my computer could handle building these in the first place >I'm curious as to how someone might build these tables? They require a different generator, because you need to use more bits/position to store them. I think all the ones that have been built were done on 64-bit Alpha machines or something, with tons of memory. It would take FOREVER to build some of them on a normal PC, though you may be able to do some.
