Very nice progress :!:

Stockfish team should think about it to add Tablebase use.
People can have a choice to use them or put them off when we have engine settings.

Sure it looks interesting to use these syzygy tablebases!

Nice tests and results Ahmed Mansoor!

However seems that Marco has some resistance on implementing tablebases for SF.

If I recall correctly Marco point was too much code for a small gain... in my opinion +23 elo makes Syzgy tbs worthy of consideration.

This seems to confirm the idea these bases will become the standard TBs for the next few years.

That reminds me of when I first heard the word syzygy. I was talking with someone I knew about hangman and he said he had the most difficult word for that he'd ever seen, and wanted me to try guessing. After being told it was six letters my first guess was 'y'. He about fell over.

Are these the same version of Stockfish except for the tablebases?
What sort of storage was used for the tablebase files?
