what is this tablebase? i have read and cannot understand please someone explain to me in simple terms what is this and how useful it is
Fabulous. Thanks to all involved!
@MorsPrincipumEst endgame tablebases are stores all info to do perfect(!) play in positions up to 8 pieces on board. In contrast to opening books which only stores statistical info (win/draw/lose percentages of large amount of high level player games) of moves in a particular position these databases can tell you exactly that a move can win/draw/lose in perfect play by both side.
Sry I mean up to 7 pieces as of today :)
Do we now have 7 piece table base for variants as well?
0.35 bits per position is very cool, and I'd really like to know how the compression algorithm works.
