Re: 7-men Syzygy attempt: 6v1 EGTs
Presumably, the side with 6 men will try to force=sac a man as quickly as possible to get to a 5v1 win

Re: Increasing returns of tablebases with TC
Excellent experiment: bigger time-budget ==> EGT-access earlier in the search and greater nodes/sec.
In TCEC11.P, game 66.2, move 64w, Stockfish consulted the EGT 1,274,028,324 times @ nearly 4m EGT access/sec.
Has anyone seen bigger numbers than these!

Re: 7-men Syzygy attempt
Very impressed by your initiative - and good to see Ronald de Man active on the EGT scene again. I would be very happy to have a version of RdM's code which created 6-man DTZ EGTs , regardless of a n-man rule. Setting 'n' to 500 ply would I think do it! While there is some 6-man DTZ data for pawnles...

Re: Suicide chess tablebases (stalemated player wins)
Niklas, Good to see plaudits for https://syzygy-tables.info/ ... with which I heartily agree. Maybe you know of the announcement that Losing Chess is solved - in the sense that the initial position is known to be a win for White ... 1. e3. http://magma.maths.usyd.edu.au/~watkins/LOSING_CHESS/LCsolve...

Re: New 6-piece tablebases: missing statistics
For KQPKBP/0-1, there are only five 'frustrated wins' for Black, all requiring an immediate pawn conversion. The other three endgames with 0-1 frustrated wins for Black in 1 ply are: KQNPKQ/0-1: 4K1k1/1N1P4/8/3q4/8/1Q6/8/8 b, 1... Qxb3 (KNPKQ) KQRPKP/0-1: 8/1K6/8/2P5/2R5/7k/p7/1Q6 b, 1... axb1=Q+ (K...

Re: New 6-piece tablebases: missing statistics
The stats files for the syzygy EGTs, at least the ones I came by, do not include exemplar 'longest frustrated wins' for the four cases where the 'longest frustrated win' for Black is just 1 (i.e., '101') ply. There are examples of 'longest frustrated wins' for White in 1 ply, and for Black in more t...
