ccrl & table bases

Post by flok »

Graham/others,

At https://ccrl.chessdom.com/ccrl/404FRC/r ... t_all.html I read that a 5 men tablebase is used.

My question now is: is the tb used in the tournament software? Or are syzgy/others selected in the chess-program? ("engine")

In the case of my testing, I use ChessGUI.

Each engine can access whichever type of tablebases it uses.

Both - the engines use them in search where able, and the GUi will do tablebase adjudication.
