Well, at the moment I need about a few hundred pawn endgames with as many pawns
on board as possible. If limiting the criteria to at least 4 pawns per side
produces 48000 results, then maybe a limit of at least 5 pawns (or even 6 pawns)
would result in a smaller database?

Also, can your program just create a FEN database of positions (for each game
only one position where the conditions are satisfied)? That would save a lot of
space, considering that most of the pawn endgames are very long games!.
