 Actually, this is what i thought the first time i saw there are tablebases for
white and for black, for the same endgame(KRPKP for example). So i thought they
would have the exact same size. But no, this isn't happening.
For example KBBKNBB.EMD is 200 KB, while KBBKNBW.EMD is 243 KB.
Can you explain why..........????????? It seems very bizarre to me!?!?!?!?!
