Go up one level in this thread
... and there have been announcements on CCC about them.
When last heard, Marc Bourzutschky was working with Yakov Konoval, helping YK
develop a high-powered Pentium-Assembler program to compute 7-man EGTs. These
EGTs are to the DTZ, not the DTM, metric.
Marc had previously extended his evolution of Nalimov's 'gtbgen' to do KNNNNKQ
but found YK's program much faster.
Marc has reported results here, including a new record (KRRNKRR)maxDTZ = 290
superceding the KRNKNN DTZ depth of 243:
r7/5r1N/8/8/8/6R1/6R1/3K1k2 w
Krabbe's Chess Diary in a recent item carries more information about that and
about several of the ~50 endgames that had been addressed at the last mention.
The work is 'in development' rather than pure production yet, so it is not clear
when MB/YK will cut a slice of descriptive text and tell us more.
The 7-man pawnless endgames are the first pawnless endgames to include
full-point mzugs.
