Yace with table bases

[Dieter Buerssner]

Geschrieben von: / Posted by: Dieter Buerssner at 22 June 2000 20:03:48:
I only have a very few table bases installed. If anybody with more
or complete table bases (new format, uncompressed, up to 5 men should
work) wants to to be helpful and try it, leave me a note. Expect bugs.

Dieter

I only own part of the compressed Nalimov (3,4 and some 5), so unless you change to that format I can't help you. I think most people use compressed Nalimov.
Best wishes...

It seems to work here with compressed tables (only have 3 men). But there is
the following problem:

This file is included by a modified tbindex.cpp of Eugene Nalimov.
(And it is not difficult, to find the source ...) How to interprete "it should
not be used"?
Anyway, what is the prefered compression block size of the compressed tables?
(The e:NNN of Nalimov's datacomp program)

I wouldn't worry to much about that. You could try sending an e-mail to Eugene.
I used e:8192.
When you manage to implement compressed tablebases send me a copy and I'll test it for you.
Best wishes...

Nice to see "the worldest fastest chess programmer" working on Tbs..
I agree, please make yace useable with compressed table bases..
I have almost the same table bases as well 3,4 and some 5..So sorry..
