Context:

We query locally downloaded tablebases here: https://github.com/KYLChiu/sporkfish/blob/master/sporkfish/endgame_tablebase.py - the logic is fairly complex and not self-explanatory so don't hesitate to ask @michelle-lai-swl or me if questions
These files can grow up to sizes of GB so we don't expect people to have all databases downloaded.

Requirements:

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila-tablebase - implement a (synchronous) request in the function query(board) to the lila database. Any exceptions are handled such if this fail, we return None.
This should be done in it's own class, say class LilaTablebase.
