How many Scorpio type egbbs are there?

[Volker Pittlik]

I've downloaded a package with 5-piece Scorpio type egbbs. I'd assume that there are 270 files in it as all 5-piece Nalimov tbs. To my surprise there are only 180 files in it. 114 *.w.cmp and 66 *.b.cmp.

Is that set incomplete? Is there somewhere a complete one? Why there are more files for white than for black? Can I generate the missing myself?

It is OK.

The reason that there are more white than black files is that you only need one set for the symmetrical ones.

For instance, krkr is symmetrical and so you do not need both files.

No 5-man endgame is symmetrical.

This is the explanation, I think.
