BTW,how many 6 man tablebase have been built and how much total disk space (compressed) do they take up? I tried emailing ChessBase support. No answer. Actually the compression routine was written by Andrew Kadatch. The block size is 8KB. The Chessbase tablebase generator is called TBGEN.exe. There doesn't seem to be any way to set the block size in the GUI screen for the tablebase generator. The help file says that you can access the code yourself but unless I want to start building 6 man tablebases NO thanks. So I assume that the block size is correct within the tablebase compression routines because if it wasn't the tablebases couldn't be accessed at all. At the present time, with compression you can access them for the first 13 ply or so before Shredder9-fritz interface crashes. Therefore there must be a bug in the compression routine somewhere.
