WDL has full data for two sides but DTZ50 omitted data of one side to save space. Syzygy EGTB is significantly smaller than any existent DTM EGTB. It is 7 times as small as Gaviota for 5 men, 8 times as small as Nalimov for 6 men, 8 times as small as Lomonosov for 7 men. However, when all DTM EGTBs have full data of two sides, Syzygy EGTB omits data of one side for DTZ data to save space. Ronald de Man estimated if keep them all, the Syzygy's 6 men size may increase 158 GB, become 307 GB in total, double on size, be 4 times as small as Nalimov 6 men.

On the first release (Apr 01, 2013) the generator was ready to generate all endgames up to 6 men. It is multithreading and processes completely in RAM. To generate all 6 men, it requires a system with at least 32 GB of RAM and may run in 5 days (the period was measured with a computer 6-core i3930K 4.2Ghz, 64 GB). Ronald de Man wasn't initially interested in the creation of 7-men Syzygy Based since the generation would require about 1 TB of RAM, too expensive at that time. Generation time would be about 64 x per table, which means around 175 x time total. His original generator could not create them. But in 2018, he supported Bojun Guo in his 5-month attempt to generated them. His hardware was estimated at over US$ 90K. In August of 2018 their creation was completed. Īfter the completion of 7-man, many people start being curious about the feasibleness of building 8-man. Ronald de Man made an estimation that task requires computers with 64 TB RAM and 2000 TB hard disks (costed about $640K and $40K respectively in 2020 ). Syzygy endgame files may contain 128-bit checksum keys at the end of those files.

It also has its own code for checksums (based on Google's cityhash library).ĭuring the search, with the WDL tables stored on SSD, it is possible to probe the tables at all depths without much slowdown. They have been tested in Ronald de Man's engine Sjaak (playing on FICS as TrojanKnight(C)) a couple of months quite successfully, don't probing in quiescence search.Īt the root, since pure DTZ50-optimal play (i.e. minimaxing the number of moves to the next capture or pawn move by either side) can be very unnatural, it might be desirable to let the engine search on the winning moves until it becomes clear that insufficient progress is being made and only then switch to DTZ-optimal play (e.g. by detecting repetitions and monitoring the halfmove clock).

Having small sizes is the main success key of Syzygy Bases since it is much easier to create, store, provide, download than other EGTBs It is about 8 times as small as the second-best EGTBs.

Free and more popular (than other EGTBs) to find on the Internet.

That metric can help engines to have better results than DTM which is supported widely by other EGTBs The probe code has integrated too deeply with that chess engine code and it requires a lot of effort to de-integrate, modify and integrate with other chess projects Ronald de Man has not provided probing code as an independent library but as a part of Stockfish chess engines.

Hard to understand and contribute to the project.

DTZ50 metric may lead the engines to win in much longer and ugly ways, compared with DTM one.Īll make it become very hard to understand and/or modify to improve or for other purposes Syzygy EGTB has also integrated with many advanced techniques/tricks.

Ronald de Man has provided only open source code for generators/probers but not endgame files themselves. Using his tools some people have generated endgames and published them via DVD or online.Īs of February 2015, all 3-5 and most important 6-men Syzygy Bases are commercially available on 4 DVDs by ChessBase as Endgame Turbo 4 for their products Deep Fritz 14, Komodo Chess 8, Houdini 4 or ChessBase 12/13. There are some free FTP servers for downloading such as Bojun Guo and Lichess servers. The sizes of those men are small enough to download and store on modern computers. Users should download them in full sets (3, 4, 5, 6 men).Īll 7 men files' size is over 16.7 TiB, over storages of typical modern computers.

They also require a long time to download too. Thus some users choose to download one or a few endgames only, based on their statistics of use in endgames.
