Presentation

Chess endgame tablebase is a database of all positions with certain set of pieces.
Using such database one can know whether a position is won, lost, or drawn, and therefore one can play perfect moves.

Nalimov format tablebases are currently a standard in computer chess. Dozens of chess programs are able to access them and play perfect endgame.

This release contains Nalimov format tablebases for all endgames with 3 and 4 pieces. 5 and 6-men tablebases are released separately due to their much larger size.

Historically Nalimov Tablebases were computed by Eugene Nalimov and distributed by Robert Hyatt via FTP. Gradually Nalimov was releasing more and more gigabytes of 6-men tablebases and at some point Bob's FTP could not handle the load. 6-men tablebases were removed from FTP and disappeared from online space. The only way to get them was by personal communication with other chess fans.

In November 2005 several enthusiasts started a project to find and share all surviving tablebases. Many people joined contributing files they managed to save. At the same time Nalimov was continuing to release new 6-men tablebases that were now shared via this project.

In August 2006 the last 6-men tablebases were computed, completing the 3-to-6-men tablebase collection of about 1.2 Terabytes. Thanks to community support, the whole collection is now freely available online on eD2K/KAD network.
