Re: analysis of 1 specific 6-7-8 piece position
Thank you for the explanation that gives me an overview of the problem. I think if the KRPPKRP can fit into 150GB disk space, people will consider buying an SSD to make their online engine play even stronger. Right now, most people can't afford to put the entire 1.2TB of Nalimov tablebase onto SSD, ...

Re: Solving the complete 7-piece chess tablebases
Ed,
let's solve the KRPPKRP only. How long do you estimate that would take? I am ready to give some funds for this calculation, and I am sure there are others.
If we have still time, we should do the KBPPKBP, KNPPKNP, and lastly KQPPKQP.

Re: analysis of 1 specific 6-7-8 piece position
I've another question.
Say this whole KRPPKRP tablebase is calculated. How much space would it take on disk, can you estimate? If the entire 6-man tablebase is 1.2TB, this KRPPKRP should be also around 1.2 TB or less. Am I correct?

Re: analysis of 1 specific 6-7-8 piece position
Most (+95%, if not more) of practical endgames with 7 pieces include pawns, thus i think the 50 move-rule is not so relevant, because it resets after a pawn move. The fastest solution to a win in a 7-piece solution would also most likely include pushing the pawns faster than waiting 50moves with man...

This freezer software looks like what I wanted, I'll contact the author, I am sure he can improve his software if necessary for the KRPPKRP positions.

analysis of 1 specific 6-7-8 piece position
Hi, Excuse my lack of knowledge on tablebase generation. I understand generating the full 7-piece tablebase is an uncomplete task as of yet, and also that even generating one sub-set of the 7-piece tablebase would also take an extra long time. But I am curious if there are fast ways for calculating ...

Re: can you allow me to send private messages?
Yes, the spam on forums is horrible. I am running one myself and can't believe how the spam started as soon as I made the forum public.

KRPPKPP tablebase purchase
Hey, I am sure someone here has done this already. I would pay for the download and the hard work you did. It is ok if the promotions are only queen.
Also, KQPPKQP, and other pieces would be valuable if you have them.
