Hi All
Just a quick post to thank all who have shared the 6 man bases over the last two years to enable me to finally complete my 6 man tablebase collection as of this morning. (obviously excluding 5 v 1)
I went through 2 ISP's as the first ended my contract due to "excessive dowmloads" which was around 100Gb a month at that time.
I have shared all in that time and will continue to do so.
I think to a point, the complete set does not seem usable on my current setup of AMD X2 4200+ 2Gb ram Fritz 11 GUI as the time to load the complete set takes ages. In fact on trying to play on playchess my engine will lose on time because it is still loading / indexing or whatever the tablebases.
I however take comfort in the fact I have them and when SSD drives are 1.5TB and cost £200 in the hopefully not to distant future I know i will be ready to transfer them.
Thanks again to one and all.
Regards
Darrell
