EGTB's

[cms271828]

Hi

I'm interested in using an EGTB in my chess program, maybe a 5 or 6 man.

I'm not keen on downloading them, as they are too big, I wondered if there were any that were stored on a server, which could be accessed via a php page or similar, which when passed a FEN string, could return the optimal move.

I checked out this site, http://www.k4it.de/index.php?topic=egtb&lang=en, its good, but my chess engine can't use this during play.

Any thoughts? Thanks
