It is written in Assembler-586 (so the source code isn't interesting) and can be run only on Windows. The technical article should be much more interesting, than the source code. Now I have some statistics (for Dann Corbit's question): The total number of 3+4+5-man pawnless EGTs in yk-format = 130. The total size of 130 EGTs = 1,473,493,622 bytes. The total time of generation - less than 5 hours for my Celeron-1300 computer. There are 100 3+4+5-man EGTs with pawns. For DTZ-metric compression is much better in comparison with DTM-metric. I already have written beta-version of pawn-generator. For knnkp the size of EGT is about 2 times less than in Nalimov's format. I expect, that the total size off all 230 EGTs will be about 4 GB. And 2 important features are: 1. Now we are using zlib-library for compressing. Datacomp.exe gives better compression. 2. For a data-mining program with 2-ply search only the smallest of wtm/btm EGTs is needed. Yakov
