• • • Ken Thompson (ken@entrisphere.com) has distributed three volumes on CD ROM with a number of 5 piece endgame databases. They seem no longer to be available. There are some commercial distributions of the same CD ROMs, but I have no pointers at the moment.

• • Steven Edwards is creating a series of endgame databases. They are available from ftp://darkside.its-s.tudelft.nl/Crafty/TB/.
  • Malinov’s endgame tablebases are available from http://www.chesslib.no/Nalimov.htm
