The Nalimov tablebases made it for me possible to have all 3-men, 4-men
and most 5-men tables on a 4 Gb disk, of course in compressed mode.
Crafty uses them in an efficient way, doing probes at the leaves of the
search tree.
The Nalimov tablebases are a major step forward in the development of
computerchess.
Kind regards
Bernhard
