Example of my directory path for the Syzygy endgame tablebases in the Stockfish engine -



1. Save both 345 pieces and 6 piece set to your C drive.

2. Name new folder "Tablebases" in the C drive.

3. Inside the Tablebases folder, name two new folders:
- dtz345
- wdl345

4. Take the single folder, "345" downloaded and open the folder.

5. Alphabetize all wdl seperately from dtz so that all wdl is listed on top.

6. Cut the wdl files from the folder and place into the new "wdl345" folder you just made.

7. *Important step* right click on both the dtz345 and wdl345 and click properties. If you split the files correctly, you should have the following:



8. When you set the tablebases path, be sure that your wdl345 folder is grouped with wdl6 folder and your dtz345 folder is grouped with your dtz6 folder.


Pm me if you need further assistance.

Introduce 'follow up' moves

When we have a fail-high of a quiet move, store it in
a Followupmoves table indexed by the previous move of
the same color (instead of immediate previous move as
is in countermoves case).

Then use this table for quiet moves ordering in the same
way we are already doing with countermoves.

These followup moves will be tried just after countermoves
and before remaining quiet moves.
