It was published "paper only" :-) in the german CSS computer chess magazine. Author is Günter Rehburg. I wrote about that article several times, quoting results etc., here and on rgcc: http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=acrp6d%24r6usn%241%40ID-60184.news.dfncis.de >I have seen examples where 5 piece TB's hurt (match) performance my laptop >reasonable processor PIII 1133mhz but slow disk.

I don't have much experience with 5-piece tbs., but if I would use them, I'd care for a tbs. cache of 16 or 32 MB. Another interesting alternative I tried recently, is tbs. access from a USB memory stick, or flash memory drive, which you can simply connect to USB port and use like a disc drive or RAM disk. With a Notebook(WinME) and the memory stick both having USB 1.1 support, the access times seemed fairly ok to me, at least with the 4-piece tbs. I had stored on the stick. Unfortunately, access and transfer times are much worse on another computer which has USB 2.0 standard (?!). Maybe they would be better whith a USB stick that support 2.0 too. A magazine article said, these devices are still under developement. In Europe, good prices for it are 50 cent per MB or less. Regards, M.Scheidl
