You should look at the crafty source, "probe.c" to see how I probe and use the resulting scores... Crafty's mate scores start at 32768 and come down based on the ply. IE MATE=32768-ply where ply is the point where I notice the side on move is in check and has no legal moves out of check. In probe.c, the mate scores from the EGTB call are converted to match that idea...
