Would it be useful to have a modified tablebase that includes only those positions where random moves still draw against perfect play? For instance, if black runs out of time...

I suppose that I'd drop positions where white has any move that loses AND black has any move that loses. I've never gone plumbing into how tablebases are usually structured,...

Yup, lookup would have to be faster than the general solution or there's no point. I suspect quite a bit more than 7 pieces would be do-able since a huge...

Also, tablebase lookup need not necessarily be faster than the quick solver. The critical advantage of a tablebase is that if a position is found in it, then the tb...

I was thinking it would be generated similar to how EGTBs are generated, as I understand it: i.e., start at the game-end position and search backward, filtering as we go....

Hey! Sorry for the slow turn-around: I'm on a bit of a tear cleaning up stale stuff in our open source modules... but this is still on my radar and...
