Introduction

Many chess enthusiasts would like to do 6-men endgame analysis, but no one wants to host 1 TB of files for download. So we have to help ourselves. This page is an attempt to organize a persistent online availability of the whole set of Nalimov 6-men tablebases. This project depends solely on chess lovers community, it's up to us to choose if we will download any tablebases for free, or if we will have to buy them on DVD from Chessbase etc..

If you are not sure what endgame tablebases are or how to use them, you can learn the basics from Wikipedia or from Aaron Tay's EGTB Guide.

eMule

We use eDonkey and KAD networks, and eMule software for sharing the tablebase files, so if you want to download them you will have to install eMule (or aMule if you use Mac or Linux). If you are new to eMule please take a look at the tutorial, and official help pages. Here you can learn how to set up eMule behind a firewall or router.

Some hints about configuring eMule the best way by our eMule expert Thomas: Thread 1, Thread 2. If you will have any questions or problems, please ask at EGTB forum. Good luck!

Please keep sharing the files after you downloaded them.

3-4-5 men bases

Just in case you don't have them, you should download and install all 3-4-5 men tables before even thinking of using 6-men tables. You can get them from Bob Hyatt, Chesslib Norm Pruitt (also FTP) or Joshua Shriver, but you might as well try using eMule and download them by these links:

6-men endgame tablebases

All files in this section are "emulecollections" - simple text files containing one or several ed2k links. Paste those links into your eMule and it will start trying to download the files.

Smileys show 'spread status' of each tablebase:
Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or...  – Super-shared tablebase – All files have 10 full sources (peers with complete files).
Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or...  – Well-shared tablebase – At least 3 full sources exist.
Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or...  – At least one full source exist - a recently shared base, not spread yet.
Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or...  – Tablebase disappeared from the network. It was available for some while, but now the original releaser disconnected before anyone else could get the files. If you have any sets marked with this smiley, please share them online!
Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or...  – Tablebase was never released yet.
If you notice that some tablebase is spread more, or less, than stated here, please drop me email and I'll update this page.

The download order is completely up to you. A few things that you may consider:
1. It's good to get small bases before trying the big ones. The best start would be KNNKNN and KBBKBB.
2. It's better to get pawnless bases before getting those with pawns, to avoid the possible "incomplete tablebase problem".
3. You will have better experience if you start with bases which are already shared by many people (Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or... and Ben-Hur -1959- 1080p 10bit Bluray x265 HEVC -Or...).
4. You may like to download tablebases by "importance" order, which is based on statistics of occurrance of each ending in real games. Several such lists exist: by Dieter Bürßner, Nelson Hernandez, and Peter Kasinski.
5. You may like to first download tablebases for endgames where longer checkmates are possible.
