Go up one level in this thread


Both DVD set and free online access are provided.
It is a good link to read about on-line access
http://www.chessassistance.com/News/6_man_tbs.html

Really DVD set is too small and can't be compared with the number of endings
available on-line. 550 GB  disk space is used for keeping them. 300 GB addition
is expected very soon.

As I know total number of tablebases that Eugene produced is close to 1000 GB.
Rare user can allow this on own computer. I will not be amazed if final 6-men
tablebases size will be 1,5 terabytes. As well 1GB RAM will be essential to work
with them.
