For how much are we going to bet that w/d/l tables 3-6 men fit in 10GB?

It's a bit of work i'll admit it as all 5 vs 1 still must get generated which is
what i'll do after world champs 2004, provided i can get a machine from someone
to do it.

Compressing those is pretty easy though. It's all wins or illegal positions
(also wins in diep's definition).

In total it's 510 EGTB's, a bit less than 1020 files (KRPKRP for example is 1
file and not 2).

You get paid to browse a bit and let the 80s revive in classrooms.

Not that i ever would like to be in your shoes, but that has other reasons.
