Gaviota endgame tablebase probing

Gaviota tablebases provide WDL (win/draw/loss) and DTM (depth to mate) information for all endgame positions with up to 5 pieces. Positions with castling rights are not included.

backports.lzma

For Python versions before 3.3 you have to install backports.lzma in order to use the pure Python probing code.

sudo apt-get install liblzma-dev libpython2.7-dev
pip install backports.lzma

libgtb

For faster access you can build and install a shared library. Otherwise the pure Python probing code is used.

git clone https://github.com/michiguel/Gaviota-Tablebases.git
