I really misunderstood your question. To my excuse, I want to say, >if I relook at the context, it could be easily understood as a question of the >size of kppkpp only: No problem. Point is that kppkpp itself will not help you so much. It might say you are winning, but chances are very small you'll checkmate with the 2 pawns so you need the conversions as well. > >>>>>And which ones is a must have? >>>>KPPkpp :) but that will take some more time. >>>And one hell of a lot of disk space. >>What is the estimated size ? > >You and Bob meant the estimated size of kppkpp and all conversions.

Bob knows I'm able to calculate the size of 1 table, but not every reader knows I can. BTW with these 6 man tables you probably need a 16 bit counter for distance to mate, making them twice as big. (You could do with less extra bits but that would kill your compression I think) Tony > >Regards, >Dieter
