access to 6 pieces Nalimov EGTB

[Anonymous]

Hi all,
Chiron can access the 5 pieces tablebases but not the 6 ones because my tbindex.cpp is old I think. I tried to use egtb.cpp from Crafty and I had to include also lock.h to compile without errors. But it shows sometimes strange values when it probes the egtb. What could be the problem? Can I remove lock.h and something else useless? (Chiron exe got really big). Thanks.

Regards,
Ubaldo

nobody has implemented the access to 6 pieces egtb in his own engine?

Yes, there were some minor tweaks to get the 6 men EGTBs working in Tinker, but I don't recall the specifics (but lock.h is used).
