I think, already 4-1 TBs are rather academic. Are there really any interesting

A cite of Eugene Nalimov in probe.txt available from Robert Hyatt's ftp:
---
- T41_INCLUDE - if you want to probe any 5-man 4+1 table (e.g. KPPPK);
if you will not ever probe those tables (I suppose
^^^^^^^^^
most chess program will never do that), you can save
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
some space by not including corresponding code and
enumeration tables;

Perhaps I misunderstand this, but to me it seems, he thinks, that 4-1 tables are
not too useful (only of academic use?).
May be, it would be possible to construct 6-men positions (or more) where
engines go wrong, without 4-1 men TBs. If yes, I really would be interested.
In 5-men positions, it seems very difficult to imagine such a case (but miseval
of the pos certainly will be possible).

Dieter
