CCRL Discussion Board

Nice work, Kirill! I only want to suggest a new subject to you. Although it is very interesting to see this small chess with many pieces, I personally would be rather more interested in a topic that is related more to our standard chess: Some endgames on boards of other sizes than normal. E.g. Queen...

That's a question I wanted to ask soon too. I'm also interested in DTC bases. Further questions are: Does anybody have DTC-6men which are accepted by the program Wilhelm? Has anybody ever done a combined DTM/DTC bases, which I assume to be less huge than the seperate DTM and DTC together and therefo...

This sounds great. I tested a few files. They work very well so far.

Is this download site reliable? How can I make sure I have the correct files? If the md5 sum is correct how sure can I be then?

Hi, so far I used to visit this forum as a guest. I see some problems to generate 7-men with Freezer. First of all there's a limit in database seize. You can't generate databases with more than about 500.000.000 positions. It's a very low limit I think. I don't know the reasons for this, but I think...
