1) Message boards : : Number crunching : Success stories
Posted 2250 days ago by R/B
I'm still crunching the chess960 Alpha program and haven't checked this site in months or maybe even a year. Is there something I need to update or is it doing just fine as it is?

Sorry, didn't know where else to post a question like this.
2) Message boards : : Chess960@home Discussions : Endgame tablebases
Posted 2520 days ago by R/B
Have you considered using some endgame tablebases in Chess960@home? I checked a few games and noticed that you might save even twenty full-moves a game if you just checked the result from a tablebase. You know, all three, four, five and most six piece games have been solved. At least five-piece endings should be worth it, they require only some 7 GB of space. Six-piece endings require some 1200 GB.

The result would be applied into the game as "white resigned" if it was found that the position is a win for black, "black resigned" if white was going to win and "draw" if neither player was found to be able to force a mate.

Here is a nice web query interface for endgame tablebases.


Are you saying that all of those have been solved with absolute %100 certainty? If that's the case I'm saddened by it in a way.
