We'll submit a paper with technical details on the algorithm to the ICGA Journal sson. We may also try to make some of the endings available through the internet, but that is still somewhat in question. We have no plans to systematically generate all 7-man endings. Even if the work were distributed, the massive amount of data involved would make coordinating such an effort very difficult. Typically, the more interesting the ending, the bigger it is. kbbbkbb is about 2 GB, but krbnkrb is 168 GB. Endings with pawns (which we have not generated yet) will probably be another factor of 2 or 3 larger. Would you be interested in having some 7-man endings available on your ftp site? If you are, please drop me an email. -Marc
