There are no "talimov" databases.  There are "Nalimov" databases, and the
parts of the filename are as follows:

aaa.bbb[.ccc]

.ccc is optional and will be .emd, which means these are _compressed_
databases rather than normal uncompressed ones.

.bbb is either nbb or nbw, which means black to move (nbb) or white to
move (nbw)

aaa is a series of letters with two "k" characters.  krpkr is one side having
a king, rook and pawn, the other side having a king and rook.

So a file named like

krpkr.nbb.emd

would be krp vs kr, black to move, compressed format...
