What did it take to generate the tables?īojun Guo (also one of the top contributors of computing power for Stockfish testing) started generating the first tables in May, expertly managing two machines, one of them with 384 threads (8x Intel Xeon Platinum 8168) and more than 1 TB of RAM (later distributed differently).Įffectively using a huge number of threads is difficult. This can be a bit unintuitive, but it allows perfect play (with regard to outcome) even under the 50-move rule. Syzygy tablebases do not aim for the fastest way to mate, but rather for the fastest way to make a winning capture or pawn move or give mate. Tablebases are also used in applicable lessons and when practising against the computer.Ĭan you finish this endgame as precisely as the World Champion? What is DTZ?ĭTZ means distance to zeroing of the counter for the 50-move drawing rule. It will show objective evaluations for every move in the position, giving you the best lines. During analysis, click the book icon on the right side of the board to open it. In endgame positions the opening explorer is replaced by a tablebase explorer.

Congratulations to Bojun Guo (aka noobpwnftw) and Ronald de Man (aka syzygy) for completing the first free 7-piece tablebase and generously sharing it with the world! Lichess now provides online access on the analysis board and in studies, practice against tablebases, a public API and a mirror for downloading the full tablebase files.
