For an optimal use of tablebase we would need a Solid State Device.

With a common Hard Disk, 6man tablebase excessively slowdown an engine when there are a dozen pieces or less on the board.

But fortunately Houdini and now also the latest development versions of Stockfish have a command ...

Personally I have not experienced this alternative (as I have said, instead, I threw it all in the same folder), but from what I understand, you should copy all three path in the same row, being careful to properly use quotation marks (") and semicolon (;), as in the example I mentioned earlier.

I ...

My solution to the problem was to put all the files relating to 3, 4, 5 and 6 man in a single folder.

But I think we can do better. :idea:

Some friends have added the different folders in the same link. For example:

"D:\Base\Syzygy 345"; "D:\Base\Syzygy dtz"; "D:\Base\Syzygy wld"

Yes, Jeremy, GTB support is important, and also Robert Houdart has Kept it in his Houdini 4.

Moreover, Ronald de Man was forced to add, in the last versions, an option to "remove the 50-move rule", because it seems that the International Correspondence Chess Federation wants to delete or change ...

In this way I was finally able to use 6 man TB without appreciable slowing of the engine.

The default value is "1", which corresponds to the older behaviour. But I set ...

Thank you, Jeremy!

Perfectly works on my ChessBase 10 GUI on Windows 64 bit.

Perhaps it would be enough to change the title of the upcoming tournaments in "TCEC Don Dailey Memorial Tournament," or something like that.

However, I see that the two engines are already honoring the memory of Don giving a great show.

It is true that they are only machines and programs, but it ...

Hello Martin.

Congratulations for the wonderful tournament.

To honor the memory of Don Dailey, however I would like to ask you if you could dedicate to him the next editions of the TCEC.
I think many people would agree with this idea.

Thanks

Thank you, Jeremy!

Syzygybases is a new promising tablebase format developed by Ronald de Man (nick name "Syzygy).

Syzygybases take 50 moves rule into account, the probing code is distributed under permissive license, and the table are about 7 - 8 times smaller than Nalimov's tablebases (1 GB for TB5 and 150 GB for ...
