Can someone summarise how near we are (or how far away we are, more likely) to a solution of the current position? And what efforts are underway and whether extra resources would help? There was an email of Bob's posted on the msn bbs recently (not sure if authorised or not!) about the need for 64-bit machines... If spare Alpha capacity is of help I may be able to contribute. Also another question, is analysing the game with Crafty without tablebases of any value at this stage? I'm running it without any just a day per move but not sure if its really worth it. I generally get to about 19/20 ply before the next move, is someone getting significantly deeper each day? Databases aside, are we in the sort of position Crafty understands? eg the GM School comment that we should not be concerned about the white pawn reaching g7 as this is apparently quite common in this endgame - does Crafty take account of this subtelty?
