Subject: tablebases implementation

Author: Jean Bouchat

Hello,
I have some questions about implementing endgame tablebases.
What do I have to implement in our program? I heard about a probe.txt file that
explains useful things. But I can’t find it. I heard that this file was in
tbgen.zip on hyat’s FTP but didn’t find it.
I had a look in source code of crafty and pepito but I didn’t understand which
function I have to write and which I may re-use. I think I need to use functions
from “tbdecode.c” with the position and the directory of tablebases as
arguments. What I don’t understand is the exact syntax(what is the function
name, which coding of position).
Do I have to request authorization from someone to implement them (Eugene
Nalimov and/or Andrew Kadatch)?
Thanks in advance,

Jean
