Stash has lost 2 game because of NO EGTB

[Chessqueen]

Stash is a great engine , but because it does NOT use Endgame Table it has lost 2 great games so far, what a pity ==> https://tcec-chess.com/live.html

What do you mean by "lost"? As I see, stash has 1 lose and 3 draws.

Sorry I messed up, meant to say had two draws that one of them could have have been a win.

Well, first of all, I don't know where you see a missed win, the two games against FabChess were draws all along, and having EGTB wouldn't have changed anything. Stash barely survived the first game against Marvin, and lost the second one from middlegame misplays. Same thing here, EGTB support wouldn't help.

Furthermore, Syzygy probing is a hell of a mess, and I don't want to plug two thousand lines of foreign code that I don't understand, nor do I have the motivation to fully understand how Syzygy files are stored, and then write the additional two thousand lines of code to read them for a mere 5 Elo gain at TCEC.

I have plans to write more material specifications in the engine though, and I'll try my best to avoid future users to download 150 GB of 6-man databases to make Stash play a little better in endgames.

Good morning to everyone ! ^^

Well, CQ has linked the TCEC URL here for ~1000 times and he obviously likes to talk so it wouldn't be a big surprise to see him in TCEC chat but I must admit that I never noticed somebody there comparable crazy. Quality of TCEC chat is far better than you may remember it.

could be, the last time I participated was 5+ years ago, the amount of idiots/trolls in the chat annoyed the hell out of me.
to the point that I decided to never participate in TCEC again. "I'm not here to amuse idiots" was my conclusion.
