The practice of generating 6-man EGTs not only generates the EGTs but generates: - experience in generating EGTs - awareness of the problem that distribution of the information is not easy New ideas are coming forward from time to time, and these will be even more useful for larger EGTs. e.g.: If we had a GIMPS- or SETI-like distributed-community approach to generating EGTs, an HQ distributing the remaining unsolved problems, we would not be taking years to generate 6-man EGTs. We are not using parallel computers ... or distributed communities yet. Nor are we generating DTC or DTZ EGTs (which involve smaller depths and therefore less space), or getting a better compression in 'real-time versions of the EGTs' by setting 'broken' values' to 'last seen' values. This last is admittedly a 'finesse' and assumes that no 'broken' positions are enquired about - or at least that the access-code checks for 'broken positions'. g
