Subject: Re: Any programs besides Yace and Patzer that can use bitbase files

Go up one level in this thread


If anybody wants to implement "bitbases", and really doesn't want to do it more
or less with own ideas, the articles of Ernst Heinz show really everything
needed. After that, it should only be a programming exercize. The articles are
avialable at http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/~heinz/node17.html

Especially interesting in this context:

Space-efficient indexing of chess endgame tables.
Knowledgeable encoding and querying of endgame databases.
Endgame databases and efficient index schemes.
Efficient interior-node recognition.

But with knowledge of the basic ideas, who to use symmetry to index
TB-positions, many people will be able to come up with similar ideas, that
should also work well (and perhaps identically). It might be more fun.

Regards,
Dieter
