Add endgame db support #154

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

This page: http://kd.lab.nig.ac.jp/chess/tablebases-online/ contains a lot
of endgame databases.
PyChess should have support for those tables, and perhaps include a < 2 MB
version.

PyChess engine currenly accesses online endgametables. It shouldn't be hard to
support local tables as well, if we can figure out the fileformat.

As Justin's fantastic Gaviota endgame tablebase support now usable in PyChess, 
we should make accessible a bit more automatic. Now, as he wrote:

"If you want to test Gaviota TBs, it's not yet simple.
You must first get the library's source and TB files (See
http://sites.google.com/site/gaviotachessengine/Home/endgame-tablebases-1 : get 
the git or 0.3.2.3 version of the probing code), install libgtb.so.1.0.1 
system-wide or in the data dir as libgtb.so.1 (its SONAME), and put the TB 
files in the data dir."

I think we should ship this .so file in our data dir somewhere.

Gaviota egtb is 5 man only at this moment, but there is a new open source 
project by Ronald de Man.
