Syzygy question

[cc2150dx]

Is there a way to test the integrity of 5-men syzygy tablebases. A program perhaps?

Thanks.

From README.md:

"There are five programs:
* rtbgen for generating pawnless tablebases.
* rtbgenp for generating pawnful tablebases.
* rtbver for verifying pawnless tablebases.
* rtbverp for verifying pawnful tablebases.
* tbcheck for verifying integrity of tablebase files based on an embedded
checksum.

**Note 1:** Since a correct set of checksums is known, there is no need for anyone to run rtbver and rtbverp.

**Note 2:** The checksums are **not** md5sums. However, correct md5sums are known as well, and these can also be used to verify integrity. See http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/tablebases-online/

**Usage:** `rtbgen KQRvKR` (or `rtbgenp KRPvKR`)
Produces two compressed files: KQRvKR.rtbw and KQRvKR.rtbz. Both files
contain an embedded checksum."

You can build the full set in one weekend.

I guess one of my high end machines could build them in a few hours (e.g. 60 threads and many TB of ssd).

I am testing the 7 man code by building the full 6 man set right now.
I will do a verification when done.

So far 166 patterns done:

...
2018-03-16  10:29 AM             2,595 KBNvKNN.txt

in 11 hours.

Total patterns for the 6 man set is 510.

There are md5sums available:
http://kirill-kryukov.com/chess/tablebases-online/

The TB files also have an integreated checksum which can be verified with tbcheck, but those are always confused with md5sums, so I would recommend to use the md5sums. (Just follow the instructions on the page I linked to.)
