Subject: EGT-compatibility of Chess Engines

Go up one level in this thread

I don't think the very latest Fritz/Shredder versions deal with Eugene Nalimov's
multi-part file-format, even though they handle 6-man in the previous format.

Rafael Andrist's WILHELM, rich in endgame-function, at
http://www.geocities.com/rba_schach2000/overview.htm

does, and will MD5sum-check the files against file-corruption.


The scope, type and even the format of EGTs is changing.  EGTs to non-DTM
metrics could be more useful and are smaller.

The fact that commercial engines cannot take on these developments at runtime is
less than satisfactory for their users.  There is a case for moving the 'endgame
server' function out to a separate 'agent' which can do so.
