Subject: Re: what are the most important Six man tablebases?

Go up one level in this thread


Actually, I generated all 3+3 and 4+2 pawnless tables but two; twose last two
are being generated right now.

After that I'll start 6-men with pawns.

I just cannot transfer those tables to your site. Probably I should just send
you disk drive by mail... Can you find XP computer with 1394 connector for the
external disk?

Thanks,
Eugene
