- ∑ Chess 4.0.1 Lite Endgame Databases
- _____________________________________________
-
- September 9, 1998
-
- The endgame database generators will generate the following databases:
-
- • KQKR (includes KQK)
- • KBNK
-
- The commercial version of ∑ Chess additionally supports the following
- databases:
-
- • KQKB
- • KQKN
- • KRKB
- • KRKN (includes KRK)
- • KBBK
-
- Note that the KPK database is built in to ∑ Chess (because it's much smaller), and that
- there thus is no database generator for this ending. Note also, that the KQK and KRK
- databases are included in the KQKR and KRKN databases respectively.
-
- Each database takes up about 3.7 Mb disk space. The generation process is rather time
- consuming, therefore you should use the PPC native versions if you own a PowerMac.
-
- You don't have to generate these databases for ∑ Chess to run. If the program ends up
- in one of the above endgames, it will try to consult the corresponding database. If there
- is no database (or ∑ Chess can't find it), the program simply starts thinking using
- it's normal search engine.
-
- NOTE: ∑ Chess expects the endgame databases to reside in the "Endgame DB" folder. If
- this is not the case, ∑ Chess can't find them.
-
- Have fun!!
