Re: Share Your Tablebases
If you take a moment to scan the top 365 list, you find in general that the more useful tablebases tend to occur in the first half of the list... :idea: Regarding a tablebase like kppkpp with multiple pawns, and thus multiple promotion tablebases, it is fairly instructive that of the approximately ...

Re: Share Your Tablebases
You do know that it is from Kirill’s own website (linked earlier) that this particular “commonality” list arose, RIGHT? CITE: “You may like to download tablebases by ‘importance’ order, which is based on statistics of occurrance of each ending in real games. Several such lists exist: by Dieter Bürßn...

2,000 was yesterday, but it's 1,000 today, so I guess it varies from time to time?lsvll1 wrote:P.S.: I believe Saugstube has a file limit of 2,000, not 800.

Re: How to get a High ID? Update 14. June 2008
This may be helpful. Firstly, I too have a Linksys WRT54G router and no problems forwarding. However, I had problems with my McAfee firewall, even though it said that eMule was a program with Full Access to the web. The solution was to go to the McAfee firewall event log and specifically give permis...

Re: Share Your Tablebases
The analysis of the list I mentioned is taken from 23,000 computer vs. computer matches, although there's also a human vs. human analysis of over 3,000,000 matches that's on the post above the comp-comp matches, so you probably saw that list first. I'm not saying 23,000 games is enough for perfectio...

Re: eDonkey Servers
Hey all: For security / anti-spam / anti-fake servers I use block lists from http://www.bluetack.co.uk. You can download different types of IP filters there. The best for eMule are apparently either the PIP filter (i.e., Paranoid blacklist) or the NIP filter (Normal blacklist). Their downloads are a...

Re: Share Your Tablebases
Vegan: Regarding the way you organize and apparently download your TBs, FWIW, I do take a different approach to collecting sets. I wonder how the rest of us approach collecting? Personally, I want the smallest # of tablebase sets which still hit a very large percentage of 6-man endings that occur in...

Re: Share Your Tablebases
No, you didn't misinterpret the original post at all, which is why I hedged on that statement, and why I even thought to myself that it was more likely you were still referring to the "Shared Files." I think you are absolutely correct that we can't assume what the blue and grey files (and ...

Re: Share Your Tablebases
Hey: What does 'Complete Sources' = 0 mean, for instance -- most of those are in my 'incoming' directory. I thought perhaps you were referring to the "Transfers" page on eMule when you said your "Incoming" directory. Perhaps not. After all, there is no column of "COMPLETE So...

Re: Re"hashing" krppkr corruption -- Why the "patch" on emule?
Hi Kiril, I have new information on the krppkq position (8/k1P5/8/8/1R5P/8/K7/7q) that stumped my Fritz 11, andI think it strongly suggests the solution to the problem. It turns out that krppkq does work, just not on the "longest checkmate" position. I found 2 other 6-piece positions that ...

Re: Re"hashing" krppkr corruption -- Why the "patch" on emule?
Hi again, Firstly, you’re completely right about the above response to Thomas. I need to read what I write aloud, since I somehow imagined a friendly banter and not a dangerous psychosis. Sorry about that Thomas. I actually see you (i.e., Pachnes) regularly on eMule, and we’ve shared many gigabytes ...

Re: Re"hashing" krppkr corruption -- Why the "patch" on emule?
(BTW, regarding the comments made above on different colored search results on eMule, to be specific and accurate: a red search result means either you are NOW downloading it, or you have ALREADY downloaded it in full and are SHARING it (makes sense because either way, you're sharing it). A green se...

Re: Re"hashing" krppkr corruption -- Why the "patch" on emule?
Kiril, thanks for the warning about executables. I'm always tempted to download exe's when they're for a file I REALLY want -- but ultimately it's not worth the risk (e.g., like damaging the kernel on my laptop several months ago). BTW, Thomas, this post wasn't about whether or not any krppkr files ...

Re"hashing" krppkr corruption -- Why the "patch" on emule?
When I do an emule search now for krppkr (which I know has a long thread about a corrupted file being dispersed due to a ChessBase copy), there's a "KRPPKR-Patch.exe" available to download. Is this a necessary file? What does it "patch"? (I've been burned by downloading an exe fi...
