I don't see why 2 tablebases would be different: they show ALL positions and moves leading to a win or draw.

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
What information dont you see? It gives which moves win or draw and how many moves the win takes. It is a complete 7 man tablebase.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 7:52 amSure but it doesn't seem to display the same information as the Nalimov site does, so I don't know if I'm missing somethingWadih Khoury wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 11:36 pmI don't see why 2 tablebases would be different: they show ALL positions and moves leading to a win or draw.

I just ran a test of the Android app on a phone.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 10:13 amHow do I cause that to be displayed, after I've set up a position?
First I cleared the board. It's the cross at the bottom of the screen.
Message displayed "no White King"
place a white King on e1
Message displayed "no Black King"
place a black King on e8
Message displayed "draw"
place a white Rook on a2
Message displayed "White mates in 12" accompanied by an arrow pointing at a7.

Re: Candidates Tournament 2020
It's not immediately obvious, but you set up the position, then select "Analysis Board", then it's the book symbol (highlighted in the screenshot) you need to click on to get tablebase analysis.JustinHorton wrote: ↑Tue Apr 20, 2021 10:13 amHow do I cause that to be displayed, after I've set up a position?
