endgame tablebases for leela

[smcracraft]

Hi,

Recently I was able to get leela running with banksiagui on a couple of mac's but without endgame tablebases.

My question is where/how can I get the endgame tablebases?

Thanks.

Just download them. There are several places you can download. Below is an old topic with several links:

http://www.talkchess.com/forum3/viewtop ... =2&t=66096

I suggest to download from chessdb.cn since it is ftp (much faster) and it has all tables.

ftp://112.73.74.24/pub/syzygy/

You may download 3-4-5 endgames first to try before downloading 6 men ones. For 7 men, just download (or ignore all) a few high-frequent-used only since they all are too huge.

Thanks - I found I already had them up in the cloud and have linked the cloud link to my Banksia+Leela combo on the two Mac's.

Looking good now.

It's about 161gb so hopefully that's about right.

Alas, I just looked at it and they are only up to the 6-men tablebases.

I'll need to put all this on a largish external drive to get the 17 tb of the 7-men tablebases
in addition to the existing 150gb-160gbish 6-men tablebases.
