I have advocated the first-phase use of win/draw/loss EGTs for some time:  the
compression rate on them will also be interesting.

The first 7-man EGTs are being generated now - no, not KQQQQQK.

John Tamplin has shown that {EZ} EGTs to the DTZ metric can be less than 50% the
size of {EM} EGTs:  cf the ACG10 paper in the Kluwer book.

My forecast, based on EN and JT file-sizes to date, is that:

a)  3-6-man DTM EGTs 'EM' will weight in at 1.40 TBytes
b)  3-6-man EZs and EdZ50Zs [diff between DTZ50 and DTZ] will be 0.50 TBytes
