Interesting and first(?) 7 piece TB test running
It has currently 7 piece vs. 6 piece +14,07 and 7 piece vs. no +22,04 after 150k games. 100 kn/move test. Maybe better test will be fixed time like 0,1s!

Same test with 2 and 8 move book with Cfish gave 5 piece - no TB +9,59. Too much. These figures are some kind of absolute maximum not happening in real games.

I think that tablebase probes are essentially free, just one node in your test. If I see that correctly? It is still nice from a science viewpoint, to have an upper limit to a problem, and to see that the difference between 6 and 7 is larger than between 5 and 6 so no diminishing returns to the upper limit with a growing number of pieces. You can put your results straight in the ICGA Journal if that is still around 
Very good Jouni.
Very good Jouni.Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first
place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you
are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Re: Interesting and first(?) 7 piece TB test running
Since the tb files are not distance to mate, there can be lots of probes in a search.
Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.

The TB files are not distance to mate, and there can be lots of probes in a search. But the first part does not imply the second part. With distance to mate there would be just as many probes (but they'd take longer because your storage system would have to be much bigger).Dann Corbit wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 12:43 am Since the tb files are not distance to mate, there can be lots of probes in a search.

It was not my test, but naturally from Leela forum https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... =358848559.
