Finally, since Lomonosov skipped these endgames, and while we are splitting hairs, this makes Syzygy the first truly complete 7-piece tablebase.The game is drawn because with the remaining material no sequence of legal moves can lead to checkmate. These tables were also a good warm up: Relatively fast to generate, no need for wide DTZ values, and making up only 1% of the entire set (trivial endgames compress very well). While the outcome of such positions is rather obvious the exact distribution of the DTZ values may still be of theoretical interest. How to use Syzygy tablebases programmatically?Īs a developer you may be interested in probing tablebases via a public HTTP API (feel free to suggest improvements), in C with the original probing code or a library (currently 6 piece only), in C++ by adjusting Stockfish, in Python or in Rust. Currently the development version of Stockfish is required for 7-piece tablebase support. You can separate multiple paths with on Windows or : on Unix-based systems.
