sometimes ago, I read that Toga couldn't use the Nalimov code in his sources because GNU doesn't accept to have not GNU source as part of it ... So an idea : "why doesn't exist a separate module from engine who can read multi format end-game -databaseS ???" , a kind of DLL like executable. The engine call the module when there's < 8 pieces (or 7 ?) in the search and get the score from databaseS ( when Nalimov, Yakov Konoval, De Koning?, ... is present [mate in X, mated in X, draw], when bitbase is present [win, draw, lost]) What the DLL must do : 1) initialization with given directories : look for all know formats and transfert the list to the engine. 2) be able to read all the formats and give the score from EGTB. Why such a module doesn't exist yet ?
