One can search tablebasr results at some sites already. I believe Nalimov Tables are accesable in a beta search engine at lokasoft.nl already and this traditional harkens back to ken thompsons old chess site called "play chess with god," which may even still exist at bell labs. if the question you ask, Brian, is organized around real-time searches during game-playing, then i am sure latency is a secondary issue to lag for sure. That is unless, of course, the server-host of the computer matches can supply this as a subscription service. Do you consider SOAP fast? I only use SOAP to write Google hacks myself!
