I am not sure what David Bowie has to do with this post

Are you going to add syzygy tablebases in the future to your chess engine.

Thanks for the new version, Thomas.

I see it calls itself Nirvanachess Chess which seems a misspelling to me, what is the correct name?

[Dokterchen]

Great news, thanks Thomas.

No sorry. I don't plan on adding tablebases it is a lot of extra code for little to no gain.

Hmm I didn't notice that. It should be "Nirvanachess". I will fix this when I get back to my computer next week.

This has now been fixed. There was also a small performance improvement that I added here. The improvement was < 1% so there is no need to download beyond the naming fix.
