Happy halloween - scorpio 2.7.8

[Guenther]

Scorpio 2.7.8 with 5men egbbs plays c8B +16.90/23 19s:-(
Scorpio 2.7.8 with 4men egbbs plays c8R +0.53/35 22s

so I would prefer to use only 4men egbbs for my Tests...

Was this really with the full 5men egbb set?
In a previous post you showed loading '145' bitbases.
Actually the full set would be 180.

Hi Guenther,
I have 183 files for 5men new egbbs; I do not know why Scorpio announces only 145 egbbs ;
The downloads I got these files do not longer exist (Dann?) and I do not know an existing link for the new egbbs. So I cannot compare.

Perhaps someone can help me to confirm these 183 files an give me a download link? Maybe some of my files are corrupt?

EgbbProbe 4.1 by Daniel Shawul
180 egbbs loaded !
loading_time = 3s

I selected them manually from the 6men download from the olympus site,
by sorting by size and looking at the name length, which was a bit tedious, but I did not like to wait for testing them.

If you are interested I will make them available for a short time on my site,
as long as the request by Daniel to make them available again as a separate download at olympus is not fullfilled?

Ok, squeezed the already compressed files into one 7zip file of ~194MB.

In around a few minutes it will be available at:
http://rwbc-chess.de/EGBB5N/egbb5N.7z

Maybe you could host it too at CEGT after you have downloaded it, or
Kyrill can make it available (again) at CCRL as long as olympus has it
not separated.

Thanks Guenther,
I have learned too a lot of things from this thread. I have downloaded your files and can confirm the 180 egbbs for 5men. And of course this was the reason my 5men set did not work correct. So I will delete this posting:

I have here an interesting example: c8R is mate in 70 and c8B loses in 28

Scorpio 2.7.8 with 5men egbbs plays c8R now too with all egbbs
Scorpio 2.7.8 with 4men egbbs plays c8R +0.53/35 22s

so I would prefer to use 4men/5men egbbs for my tests...

Sorry about that. I hope my tests with new Scorpio will have better results now!

Werner, I love it when things can be resolved :)
( I guess you had a mixture of 5 and 6 men in your folder,
or some older 5 men together with newer 5 men)

During this exercise I noticed also that the newer egbb5 have just 60%
of the size of the older ones!

Thank you very much for sorting them out. I'll host them indefinitely on olympus. Here is the link.

I've also added it to the torrent site as well. I'll seed it as long as I can from home. If someone can try and grab it from there I'd appreciate it and let me know if my seed is ok.

Thanks for hosting it Joshua. I have removed my download now.
