YK-format is much sipmpler, than Nalimov's, but hasn't been described yet. 2. EGTs are in DTZ(=DTC for pawnless endings) metric. 3. The time of generation one 5-man EGT is from 1 to 10 minutes. The special version for 5-man EGTs can work 2-3 times faster. 4. The size of EGT usually is smaller than Nalimov's mainly due DTZ-metric. And this size strongly depends of archiver. Now the gzip-library is used for compression, but compression level can be much better with using other libraries. 5. There are plans to make EGTs generally available. The main problem is the huge size of 7-man EGTs. Yakov
