Best tablebase algorithms for 6-men server?

[kinderchocolate]

I want to setup a 6-men server for tablebase queries. This has nothing to do with chess engine, it's just be a server. I want to get WDL and distance-to-mate information for each position I query. What's the best tablebase scheme?

I believe https://syzygy-tables.info uses the Gaviota for DTM. Do we have any open-source 6-men DTM tablebase?

Nalimov (~400 Gb partial set *.emd, 1151 Gb full set) has DTM, but lacks DTZ
Syzygy (~150 Gb *.rtb*) has DTZ, but lacks DTM

Where you see DTM? I see only DTZ for 6-men.
DTM only shown after conversion to 5-men

I've started a thread on asmfish github page on possible gaviota egtb implementation, so evaluation show mate in x instead of large number such as 128.xx ->

Sorry for the late response, it was Easter!

Does Nalimov tablebase requires a license for probing? Syzygy is out of question because I want DTM not DTZ.

What about Scorpio? Can we do 6-men DTM there? ~1000GB shouldn't be a problem for a server.

I understand Gaviota allows only up to 5-men DTM, but I want 6-men. If I can't find a reliable tablebase technology, I may also run a chess engine like how you describe in the link.

Is your server intended for private usage only, or can it be accessed from around the world?

Gaviota is open source so it can be added to Asmfish.

What about Scorpio?

Scorpio is WDL, not DTM.

The server is for statistical research in chess. Do I need a license? Where to ask for a license?

You're not the first one trying to contact him.
