I think I remember someone posting >here that each complete set of egtb is 60 x larger then the previous set. I know what you meant, I was just estimating about something I don't know much. Anyway i feel it is unfair to count symmetry, as the original also has it. May be am wrong. Also I suposse the tb says about the shortest mate right? so how you will know if capturing is the shortest mate? the info could help but the positions are not ready are far as i can see.
