Subject: Implementing tablebases

Author: Johan Hutting

Date: 14:37:04 12/17/02


I'm attempting to implement Nalimovs tablebases in Celes, however..
the code example from tbgen.zip (downloaded along with the TB files a couple of
months ago, you would expect it to work with them then...) dated 15th May 2000,
11:00:00 wants to open kpk.nbw, etc.

If I remove the .emd extension I'm getting "*** g:\chess\TB\kpk.nbw corrupted".
I read emd is apparently some sort of exotic compression format so I guess I
need a decompression library. Also, the .emd files seem to work for other
programs so there must be a more recent tbindex.cpp (the original file doesn't
contain any references to 'emd').

So, could someone either give me 'current' example code of tbindex.cpp or
explain how I can read the .emd files correctly it would be appreciated. Hyatts
ftp doesn't appear to have the tbgen.zip anymore, nor can I find new EGTB access
code on his ftp.
