To quote the words of a cynic during the Chessbase commentary on Kasparov-DJ Game 4: "I doubt whether more than 1% of all positions in the tablebases have been checked independently. And a mathematical proof of their correctness is not easy at all." Let's forget the cynicism for a moment. I personally have no doubt in the accuracy of the tablebases, based on my empirical observations of a few positions extrapolated to the millions of other positions. My question is: Is a mathematical proof of tablebase accuracy at all possible?
