Improve your Stockfish analysis and performance The latest Stockfish 8 chess engine provide support of the new Syzygy tablebase format. The tablebase is able to tell you whether your position is a win, loss or draw instantly, without running lengthly analysis. Also Nalimov tables (the most popular format in chess, distance to win, up to 6 pieces currently) are suffering from not accomodating this rule. Syzygy endgame tablebase is a massive database that contains pre-calculated exhaustive analysis of chess endgame positions. Kirill Kryukov wrote:It causes a lot of issues and debates in chess endgame solving, and limits the usefulness of Win-Draw-Loss tables. You should also leave a few GB unused disk space while running SmallFish with 6-men endgames. It is important to import the 5-men tablebase files before the 6-men endgame files. Because the amount of storage goes up exponentially with each extra piece, tablebases are currently limited to 6-men endgames (that is positions with six or fewer pieces or pawns on the board including the kings) and most people only use up to 5-men tablebses since the 6-men files are huge. You will need at least 4GB disk space to run this app. Another 2GB disk space to process the tablebase files Import 5-men Syzygy tablebase files into SmallFish (Search "Syzygy Tablebase" on the App Store if you don't have the 5-men app).

But yes, hosting on a server would surely be an issue. Clearly it is not that hard to support 1000TB for an incredibly useful service. I can have a petabyte up there if I want! I'm one single person. I have around 1.5TB in the cloud, and I have unlimited cloud storage with my EDU e-mail. *Usually thrown in as part of a subscription for another product. Years ago, people marveled at a company hosting 5 gigabytes of data *online, but over the years it crept ip to 10 gigs, then 20 gigs, but compnies are offering to host 50 and even 100 gigs or more as part of some sort of tiered product subscription.Ī petabyte needed to host an 8 man tablebase?. I do think eventually, someday, with advances in memory technology, that it would eventually be cost effective. There seems, to the average person that the cloud has unlimited capacty, but a petabyte would be enough storage to be an monitary issue: who would pay the cost to host that? Short of new memory technology, perhaps holographic for the average desktop computer, it would be impractical to tie up a petabyte of cloud storage for an 8 man tablebase.
