First, how far along are we (we being Nalimov) in generating the complete set of 6-man TBs? I was under the impression that the whole set is 1TB, so we were about 1/2 done. I would be really interested in compiling some statistics about the relative usefulness of some of the tables. There are a lot of 6-man tables that are completely useless [e.g. KQQQKP] that still take up quite a bit of space. What I propose is that someone (someone being Bob & Nalimov) runs a program that simply checks the win rate for side-to-move for each table. We then order all the tables by "difficulty to win", so the list looks like: krpkrp 5GB 5GB 50% kbqkbq 5GB 10GB 50% ..... krrknn 2GB 250GB 70% ..... kqqqkp 3GB 1003GB 99% etc. This way those of us with money/noise constraints can pick out a reasonable subset of the 6 man tables. anthony
