Subject: tbgen and datacomp sources
Hi,

I am looking for the source code for the chess endgame tablebases
generator used by Nalimov. There are many references on the net
to its availability but all links seem to be dead. Would be very
greatful if you could kindly point me to a working one. I would
also appreciate a pointer to the source of the compression utility
datacomp if it is not part of tbgen.

regards
b thomas

Why would you want the generator when you can get 5-man EGTBs anywhere
quickly and the entire 6-man EGTBs are now publicly available? A mere
1.12 terabytes of storage on a SATA II is all you need, plus 4-6 GB RAM
and a very fast CPU. Go here:
