Hi Dann,

Two things I noticed in your output:


>              endgame tablebase-> probes=0  hits=0
>PFGA: EPD record: 3   ID: J&S42.01
>              clearing hash tables
[snip]
>              endgame tablebase-> probes=1  hits=1

In the first line, I again see no probes and no hit. The second line shows 1
probe and 1 hit.

Is this the definition of success? I would expect the probe and hit counts to be
much, much higher. In the checkers world, for example, every probe is a
guaranteed hit (the databases for a fixed piece count are complete) and the hits
would be in the millions after a sufficient search time.
