With the help of the Endgame Turbo, all five and a number of six-piece endgames will
be played with absolute perfection. Since the positions are also indentified in the
search the program played the entire endgame, including positions with more than six
pieces on the board, much more accurately.

Gaviota Endgame Databases
For the Gaviota EGTB support you'll need to download the Gaviota EGTB files. At the
time of writing they are available for download at the address http://www.
olympuschess.com/egtb/gaviota.Download all 145 files and save them in a directory on
your hard disk. The total disk space required is about 7 GB.
The location of the Gaviota EGTB files is specified in the TbPath option.
Houdini will scan the folder for the "kqkr.gtb.cpX" file and accordingly decide which
compression level to use.

3.8.20 Syzygy EGTB
The program supports a relatively new endgame database format, the Sy zy gy
Endga m e T a ble ba se s. The new format was designed by Ronald de Man from Holland.
Most new chess engines already support this format.
You can activate the Syzygy Endgame Tablebases in the program settings, in the
menu File O ptio ns Ta ble B a s e s M o re .
