It's just computational problem, all you need is 1 array of 2 TB to
generate it, and after that supercompress it to WDL format. DTZ is
perhaps interesting to generate if your goal is to publish near to
maximin positions, but from computerchess viewpoint what matters is the
result in the game. That can be either one of the next 3: win, draw or loss.

Supercompressed this EGTB in wdl is like 3GB.

Additional i'm interested in knowing what from their database what the longest
win is for the KRB side in the KRBNKRB egtb.
