I have been building the Nalimov 5 man endgames using the Tablebase
generator supplied with Shredder9. Shredder9 indeed uses the endgames but it
crashes everytime when using the KRBKR tablebase. It may be because I have
used the Optimize feature on Shredder to use over 75% of my RAM, but I am
not sure why Shredder would need lots of RAM when using a tablebase. This
sure looks like a bug to me. Shredder9-fritz interface seems to use the KBNK
tablebase okay. I haven't checked the other tablebases yet but I can't build
them all on my machine because 28 of them need more than the 448 MB of Ram
on my machine. The largest 5 man tablebases need 571 MB. By the way, I have
been out of computer chess for 5 years. What is the state of the 6 man
tablebases?
