Palm Hiarcs & Endgame Tablebases

Post by likesforests »

Does Palm Hiarcs currently support or plan to support endgame tablebases within the near future?

Obviously, an uncompressed 6-man tablebase is out of the question, but a 5-man bitbase should fit on an expansion card and a 4-man bitbase would probably even fit on a palm's pre-installed nvram. The engine feels weaker in the endgame.

Hi,

Welcome to the Hiarcs forum.

The current Palm Hiarcs does not support end game tablebases. This may be something that Mark will introduce in the future.

Best Wishes,

Harvey
