Subject: Re: EG-database contribution to Kasparov-v-ROW?

Go up one level in this thread


After a lot of requests I looked again at my generator, and it looks that I'll
be able to generate some pawnless 6-man TBs using current algorithms and
hardware, with only a minor modifications.

I cannot spend much time on that, so there will be no radical improvements, e.g.
no parallel processing, no DTC storing to help handling of 50 moves rule, no
improved algorithm, etc.

KQQKQQ will be the second TB I'll try to do. First I'll generate KNNKNN to be
sure that I had not introduce new bugs and everything works.
