Just used FinalGen (http://www.mtu-media.com/finalgen/home_ing.php) to analyze the famous position Pachman-Hromadka 1944, see http://rybkaforum.net/cgi-bin/rybkaforum/topic_show.pl?pid=138330;hl=Pachman%20Hromadka. It took only 36 min on my Pentium IV laptop to give the solution! It appears to be quite fast. Since one can pause the analysis and continue, time does not seem to be a limitation. Anyway, looking forward to further developments.
Cool.
Did you get any malware errors? I get malware threats when I try to download it. I am using Avast lastest update.
> Did you get any malware errors?
No, I am using Microsoft Security Essentials.
Ok, ever since I upgraded I've been getting a lot of threats. They must have gone overboard on their threat detection. Thanks.
Overboard on threats??
The DLLs generated by the setup package are infected, period!
Could you please return to the forum and address the issues? I have used your website's contact, too.

Where in the hell any of these small DLLs are infected?
Could you show me injected virus/trojan code,
not just antivirus brand names?
As you are programmer, top one.

Tell you what, I'll snailmail suspected malware authors requesting a certificate of authenticity ("I hereby certify the program with an SHA256 of xyz is a genuine trojan, and here is a digitally-signed eTrust license"). Keep waiting, I'll get back to you with their response.
Good luck with that. Meanwhile, i've already reported to Comodo for these DLLs as a false positives.
It worked in the past, so you better crack into smaller bits your soft theory.

I have no need to experiment with this -It is too much of a project to go through the process of formatting my hard drive. I'll satisfy myself with Aquarium IDeA.
Who are the developers?
From a forum he posted this program on:
I am an endgame enthusiast. When I first knew of Nalimov tablebases I was so impressed that a tool could play chess perfectly, that I decided to develop my own tablebase generator.
Depending on the position caracteristics, it can resolve positions with up to 7 or 8 pieces. Even more for pawn endgames.
In my real job, I work as a computer engineer for Airbus, in Toulouse, France. It took me 4 years to develop this tool in my leisure time.
If you are interested, I invite you to visit my website

Try it, it's easy to use, and free!

>Who are the developers?
Very good question. IMO, yet to be answered.
Seems like a fantastic piece of kit, just what i've been looking for, and have been for years.
I expect it would become even better with the advances in computer technology ie, storage space and processor power etc.
Just as a comparison, my AMD dual-core 2x2.7GHz with 2 Gb ram, my machine took 37 minutes and 59 seconds to solve the Timman-Karpov game.
If i have one small complaint, it's that it's not able to deal with endgames where either side has more than one piece.
Perhaps in the future people could upload their own workings out onto some tablebase site where eventually we get close to full endgame tablebases

> Analysis by Stockfish 120305M
Which is this version of Stockfish? Does it access tablebases? Unfortunately, Stockfish may give evaluations as high as +15.00, only to realize a draw after a few more moves.
Here is analysis of one more position, which took less than two hours.
Timman-Karpov,1988. The only move to win Rd5+ is found, while Karpov played the drawing Kg5, see http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1067025! The mistake was reported by Yakov Konoval earlier, who also discovered this by creating a 7 man tablebase.

For comparison, I tried IdeA overnight with short time and depth. It could not distinguish between Rd5 and Ra5, in spite of having six men bases. The difficulty is that the Aquarium Engine interface is too slow, only about 10 positions per second get added. Perhaps if this can be improved, making tablebase trees in Aquarium will prove practical.
>It could not distinguish between Rd5 and Ra5, in spite of having six men bases.
What engines you used and how many ? Did all accesed the 6 men TBs ?
Another problem also is it does not understand repeating moves easily. I faced that problem in my game with Armageddonx in WBCCC12.
> What engines you used and how many ?
Only one engine, viz Houdini 2.0b.
Today I tried higher time and depth, and IdeA preferred Rd5, though it couldn't establish it as winning.
U set 120s and depth 26 , what was the max time in previous and this case ?
> max time in previous and this case
In first case no Max time, in second case, Max time 1200 s.
Now I got ambitious and tried FinalGen on the rook ending Hollis-Florian. It started calculating, but then I noticed the estimated time and space requirements, and stopped the run. So, it is not a panacea for all endings!

I can see you had better check those every time you try a run or else
Actually, given the complexity and number of men in this position, getting a definitive solution in a little over 7 months isn't really too bad!
If you have 24 TB's of storage space , else chaos
[edit] maybe on second look that's 24 TB (tablebases) and 117 GB on the storage.
[edit2] on third it's looking like 24TB storage and 117GB storage.

24TB is about $2K. This should be no problem for someone who can allocate a computer to this task full time for 7 months!
24 TB of space and thats 117 GB of memory required. so 2k in harddrives and probably another 2k in memory. But seeing a 10 man TB solved would be quite impressive. I wonder how long its longest mating sequences would be theoretically?
>I wonder how long its longest mating sequences would be theoretically?
No kidding. Even more incomprehensible god's chess :-P
Yet to see anyone explain the microscopic progress made by one side in those 500 move mates.
Hi Alan
i tried another similar position with 2 more pawns,but with knight,not rooks (less movements,so i think less moves generated)...
my surprise was when i saw the estimated hard drive needed:near 600 Tb!
if you just change some pawns and you block it,of course,hard drive needs slow too fast,even with the same pices
p.s.just curios,there is a machine that can manage 600 Tb of hard drives?(i mean a comercial machine,not a 'special-built-machine' that just a billionaire can buy)

Actually, I was impressed that the requirements to solve your 12 man position weren't even more outrageous. 600 TB of disc is certainly manageable and if you had the dough, you could lease this storage from a data center without a problem.
well,maybe i can lease that storage,but if you look at the picture,it isnt showed the time required to build the database,maybe the program was still calculating it when showed the hard drive needed
now it showed me that in my computer,i will need...near 72 years! i deleted it,but if i dont remember wrong,it showed me about 630.000 hours
now it showed me that in my computer,i will need...near 72 years!

OK, but wait ten years and computers will have gained enough speed so it will only take about 2 years!

You are right Alan,but if we want to analyze a running endgame (just an example),we cant hold the endgame for 10 years...
but that is an increddible advance generating tablebases,and that using just 1 core...if we add MP (and of course,one hard drive for each core,and of course,one motherboard able to 'play' with that),that 72 years,can be just 9 years with a 8 core machine today...so in your example,will take only 1/8 of your 2 years time,so we will be able (pure speculation),to generate that tablebase in just 3 months
and that speculating with a maximmum of 8 cores,if FinalGen can reach more cores,even faster...

But what if it uses the estimated time remaining of Windows?
<lmaorofl>
well ya a 10 man tablebase! LOL
btw try the search for draw mode for black instead it won't take as long. It might only be 2 months of calculating !

Hi
see if i was surprised when i saw the needed hard disk to generate the tablebases on that endgame Barcza-Sanchez

:P for that one 12 man...593 TB and almost 1 TB of ram good lord. :) Lukas could your cluster handle this? I wonder if one could upload the program into a cloud like here offering up to 1000 TB's of storage. LOL http://www.drivehq.com/premium/enterprise.aspx I bet they wouldn't enjoy you executing a program there requiring that much memory LOL.
Hi
not,it isnt 593 Tb of hard drive storage and 1Tb ( 986 Mb) of RAM;the first and the second number (986 Gb in that case) both means the storage needed of hard drive to store the tablebases...so is 593 Tb and 986 Gb of hard drive needed to store the database,not the RAM needed
just an example: 130 Gb 245 Mb ----> means 130 Gb and 245 Mb of space needed in the hard drive

why are there 2 numbers to represent harddrive space?
Me tink its HDD and RAM
"For example, many 7-man tablebases [Nalimov] can be generated using 4 GB of RAM [and up to 14]" and here is 12...

No Pia,is hard drive used,the 2 numbers...
download the program,install it,and choose 'english' as default language,and you will see that that 2 numbers are only to tell the hard drive needed
in fact,in the web page of the author,is specified that the programs only need 1 Gb of RAM to run

Pia,look at the system requeriments,from the author's web page:
just 1 Gigabyte of RAM is needed to build whatever database,if the program is able to build that database,of course (no more than 1 pice for each side,and from what i tried,if there isnt exceptions,no more than 14 pieces in total)
>System requirements
>- Pentium 4, equivalent or better, AMD Athlon 64 or better. FinalGen supports all INTEL processors released after 2000 and AMD processors introduced after 2003.
>- 1 Gigabyte of RAM.
>- Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.
>- The required hard disk space depends on the characteristics of each particular position. A reasonable amount of disk space is 80GB (or 30GB if you use a compressed folder).
just 1 Gigabyte of RAM is needed to build whatever database,if the program is able to build that database,of course (no more than 1 pice for each side,and from what i tried,if there isnt exceptions,no more than 14 pieces in total)
because in big database that use 1 Tb(just an example),if the second number never is given to you,you wont know if is 1 Tb or 1 Tb AND 999 GB...and is very different;in fact one number is the double of the other
so there is 2 numbers,the first,tells you the Tb (or Gb) and the second the Gb (or the Mb if the first told you Gb)
example 1 Tb and 345 Gb
24 Gb and 357 Mb
as you can see,the second number is to make more exact the harddrive used
so there is 2 numbers,the first,tells you the Tb (or Gb) and the second the Gb (or the Mb if the first told you Gb)
example 1 Tb and 345 Gb
24 Gb and 357 Mb

well duh its an 11 man tablebase. LOL
