Installing 6-men syzygy

[Doutzen]

Hi at all, i'm new here.

I would like to know how to install the 6man syzygy. Because i see that there are two folders " Syzygy 6men DTZ" and "Syzygy 6men WDL ".
For the 3-4-5 man is simple, there is one folder and in Hodini4 you simply choose that folder. But with 6Men?
Thanks in advance.

My solution to the problem was to put all the files relating to 3, 4, 5 and 6 man in a single folder.

But I think we can do better.

Some friends have added the different folders in the same link. For example:

"D:\Base\Syzygy 345"; "D:\Base\Syzygy dtz"; "D:\Base\Syzygy wld"

Hi Luigi, i do not understand. In this way we have 3 path

Personally I have not experienced this alternative (as I have said, instead, I threw it all in the same folder), but from what I understand, you should copy all three path in the same row, being careful to properly use quotation marks (") and semicolon (;), as in the example I mentioned earlier.

I hope this will work, otherwise go ahead as I did ...

Ah sorry, now all is clear .
Great. I think that i'll to put all files in one folders...3-4-5 plus 6.
Last question, with a normal hard-disk does 6men work fine like the 3-4-5?
Thanks again.

For an optimal use of tablebase we would need a Solid State Device.

With a common Hard Disk, 6man tablebase excessively slowdown an engine when there are a dozen pieces or less on the board.

But fortunately Houdini and now also the latest development versions of Stockfish have a command, "ProbeDepth" which, properly regulated, can reduce the access to the tablebases, with an almost imperceptible loss of speed and depth of analysis...
