Yes but it is possible that tables that are enough to play 3-4-5-6 perfectly may fit 10 gigabytes. Suppose that you have tables that have only 1/32 of the information in the original 6-piece tables(it has information about exact distance to mate only if the index of the position is divisible by 32). You can still use them in 1/32 of the positions in case that the index of the position is in the table. In case that the index of the position is not divisible by 32 you can search forward and in order to check if the index of the position is divisble by 32 you do not need to look at the table. Now the question is if programs who use the smaller tables can practically play 6-piece positions perfectly or cannot do it. Uri
