I am not Bob, but it happened that I know, so I'll answer. Power glitch rebooted
2 mchines that were generating TBs for 2 weeks, so I had to restart the program
2 days ago. Right now I am trying to generate KRBKNN and KRNKNN - according to
Stiller, there are positions with DTC=223 and DTC=240+. It would be interesting
to know to find out record DTM.

Please note that another power glitch can happen, as machines are test machines,
not production servers. Also, at any moment machines could be used for their
direct, non-chess-related duties.

To this moment I generated 10 6-man TBs - all KxxKyy. But I am not sure in the
correctness for x != y, will verify in a week or so.
