New endgame record: 517 moves.

Marc Bourzutschky posted info on CCC about this. It was found in the 7men egtb
kqnkrbn, generated using Yakov Konoval's program.

I really wish they'd release the generator, even a binary would be nice :)

Emil Vlasak will undoubtedly promulgate via http://web.quick.cz/EVCOMP/tablebase.htm
Marc notes DTZ has doubled+ each time with the addition of one man: KRK (16), KBNK (33), KNNKP (82), KRNKNN (243), KRBNKQN (517).
The first full-point mzug (KRBBKQB) with no Knights or Pawns is highly noteworthy.
All in all, a quite extraordinary feat by the YK-MB team deserving our congratulations.
